Alia Potestatis Freedwoman of Aulus

Here rests a woman from Perisia more precious than anyone
a woman as very few have ever laid eyes on
industriously as you were, a small vessel holds you now.
Cruel and harsh ruler of fate, Persephone,
Why do you tear up what's good, and extoll what's evil?
I'm tired of answering as all the rituals require.
