I would like to point out that the inscription in fact reads DOM, which stands for Deo Optimo Maximo, where the laurel wreath represents the O. This makes sense in the historical context of the 3rd century AD, where christianity has taken hold and there should be no further references to Diis Manibus. The interpretation of the inscription as DOM is further supported by the christian greek inscription alluding to the Christ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.200.103.119 (talk • contribs) 4 septembrie 2015 23:44‎ (UTC)

Cooley's Cambridge Manual of Latin Epigraphy (233–4) explicitly reads "d(is) m(anibus)", adding that "the juxtaposition of Christian and traditional funerary practices also occurred beyond Rome". Jastrow (Λέγετε) 19:06, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
