“That temple and these Hermes idols are dedicated to Uni-Astre, built by the clanspeople.Tiberius Velianas the pleasing aedicula has given.That burial of his own by these priests with idols was encircled.For three years [in the month of] Churvar, with Her burnt offerings, with idols [it was] buried.During the reign of the chief, in Her hand [he] would be brought forth (ie: Uni-Astre gave him authority to rule).And with these Hermes idols, the year(s) shall endure as the stars.”
