Epitaph on the Grave of the Young Woman

"Who died here? Herois. How and when? Heavy-wombed in pained labor she set down her burden, mother was she for a moment, the child perished also. What was the luckless one's age? Two and nine years of flowering youth had Herois. Light may the earth be on her, may Osiris bestow cool water."
