In pace domini / tumulo in isto / requiescunt membra / archipresb<y=I>teri / nomine Lupari / athle(t)a Christ(i)

(ed. Epigraphik Datenbank Clauss/Slaby no. EDCS-204022015)

The body of the archpresbyter named Luparius, the athlete of Christ, reposes in this grave in the peace of the Lord.

(trans. S. Adamiak)

Discussion:

The epitaph, originally in the monastery of S. Michele in Busclo, has been lost. The title "archpresbyter" suggests a later period, perhaps the 7th century, as suggested in PCBE.
