Trouble Stranger, if it’s not too much trouble, delay for a while and you’ll discover what you should avoid. This man who I thought was my friend produced informers against me, and a lawsuit was begun. I thank the gods and my innocence that I am free from all that trouble. I hope that neither the household gods nor the gods of the underworld receive the man who lied about our dealings.

Funeral Club Constitution (CIL (ILS 7212) It was decided unanimously that anyone who wished to join the club should pay an Initiation fee of 100 sesterces and an amphora of good wine. It was also decided that if any member of this club has paid his dues regularly and then dies, 300 sesterces will be allotted from the club treasury for his funeral. From this amount 50 sesterces will be used to reimburse participants in the funeral procession. The 50 sesterces will be divided up at the site of the funeral pyre. However, participants must walk.

It was also decided that if any member should die beyond the twentieth milestone from this municipality, and word has been received of his death, three men chosen from our club should go to that place and make arrangements for his funeral; they should then render an account to our members without willful deceit.

It was also decided that if any member of this club who was a slave should die, and if his body should not be given over to us for internment because of the unfairness of his master or mistress, or if he has not left a will, a funeral will be held in effigy for him…

Chairmen for the dinners, four at a time selected in turn according to the membership list, ought to provide one amphora each of good wine and bread worth two asses, proportionate to the number of club members and four sardines and a room for the dinner, and hot water, and a waiter.
