Quintum in hac tabula depon(o) aversum
se suisque rationibus vitaeque male consum- 
antem. Ita uti galli, Bellonarive absciderunt, concide- 
runtve se, sic illi abscissa sit fides, fama, faculit(a)s. Nec illi
in numero hominum sunt, neque ille sit. Q(u)omodi et ille
mihi fraudem fecit, sic illi, sancta Mater Magn(a), et relegis(ti)
cuncta. Ita uti arbor siccabit se in sancto, sic et illi siccet
fama, fides, fortuna, faculitas. Tibi commendo, Attihi d(o)mine,
ut me vindices ab eo, ut intra annum vertente(m . . . ) exitum
illius vilem malum.

Quintum in hac tabula depono aversum se suisque rationibus vitaeque male consumantem. Ita uti galli, Bellonarive absciderunt, concideruntve se, sic illi abscissa sit fides, fama, faculitas. Nec illi in numero hominum sunt, neque ille sit. Quomodi et ille mihi fraudem fecit, sic illi, sancta Mater Magna, et relegisti cuncta. Ita uti arbor siccabit se in sancto, sic et illi siccet fama, fides, fortuna, faculitas. Tibi commendo, Attihi domine, ut me vindices ab eo, ut intra annum vertentem exitum illius vilem malum.

translation
I place down [with you] Quintus, who has turned away from himself and his life concerns and has acted badly. Just as the galli and priests of Bellona cut themselves and fall to the earth, thus let his credibility, his reputation, and his abilities be cut away! Just as those men are not numbered among mankind, so too may he not [be numbered among mankind]. Just like that man deceived me, so may you, holy Magna Mater, take away all of his possessions. Just like the tree that withers in your sanctuary, so may the reputation, credibility, fortune, and ability of that man wither away! I hand [him] over to you, Lord Attis, so that you will avenge me for this, and that, within the turning of the year, his death will be bad and vile!
