Translation:
Caius Valerius, son of Caius, from the voting tribe Sergia, from (the town of) Her..., tubicen, soldier of the legio XV Apollinaris, 16 years of service, 36 years of age, lies here. Live happily, you who have been given more time - I have enjoyed my life as long as I was allowed. Say to the gods, if I deserve it: "May the earth be light for you!"
