CARA MEIS VIXI VIRGO VITAM REDDIDI
MORTUA HIC EGO SUM ET SUM CINIS IS CINIS TERRA EST
SEIN EST TERRA DEA EGO SUM DEA MORTUA NON SUM
ROGO TE HOSPES NOLI OSSA MEA VIOLARE
MUS VIXIT XIII ANNOS
Beloved of my people I lived. A young girl I yielded up my life.
Dead here I am, and I am ash, and ash is earth.
But if the Earth is a goddess, I am a goddess. I am not dead.
I ask you, stranger. do not disturb my bones.
Mouse lived for thirteen years.
A less literal version is more touching. “I was loved by my family. I died a young girl.”
