  1. Here lies Regina, buried in a tomb as beautiful
  2. as her husband could construct, corresponding to his love.
  3. She has aged with him for two dozen years and a year,
  4. and four months less eight days.
  5. She will live again, she will return to the light again,
  6. for she can hope that she will rise in the age which is promised
  7. in true faith (?) to the worthy and the pious,
  8. she who has deserved a place in the venerable land.
  9. This your piety has acquired for you, your chaste life,
  10. your love for the people, your observance of the law,
  11. the merits of your marriage, whose honour was your concern.
  12. Having done (all) these things, you may hope for good things to come,
  13. in which your sad husband also seeks consolation.
