Clauditur hoc tumulo Benedicti fida iugalis, quae tenuit castam defuncto coniuge vitam. nomine Pulcheria fuit, sed nomine formam signavit mentemque, simul vitamque decentem. filius his Thomas, aluit quem blanda relictae simpliciter pietas cari post fata mariti, officium sola exibuit commune parentum, ipsius hic collo genetrix portata quiescit: tale decus meruit funeris pia mater habere Epitaphios Pulcheriae |
This tumulus holds Benedict's faithful wife, She who was chaste with spouse deceased. Her name was Pulcheria, that name signifying Form and mind, as well as a decorous life. Their son Thomas, whom this gentle widow raised, She ever pious after the death of her husband, The common office of parents alone fulfilling, He carried her to this mound to rest; Such an honour a pious mother merited.
