Funerary plaque or

cippus, in lioz limestone, embedded in main façade of the chapel of São Julião. The fact the inscription is laying down suggests it may be a parallelepiped

cippus, a common typology in funerary monuments in the

ager olisiponensis. The pagination seems to follow an axis of symmetry and the characters are

actuarial. If there was punctuation, it is not visible due to the layer of prevailing mortar; however, the ivy are elegantly drawn.
The names are perfectly Latin: the gentile nomen Laberius is present in other testaments in this coastal region of

Lusitania; the

cognomen Avitus is the third most frequent in the Iberian Peninsula and there are close to 20 records of Avitianus.
Elbius is a graphic variant - until now undocumented in Hispania - of the nomen Helvius, of which there are several records in Lusitania's

capital.
The fact the daughter does not share the father's gentile nomen suggests an illegitimate filiation. The absence of the father's

praenomen, although in full on second line, may also suggest the same condition. However, while the double mention, in full, of the word filiae might indicate an incipient Romanization (of which it is a symptom), this insistence, together with the unnecessary and redundant presence of the word pater, may seek to reinforce a legitimate filiation the different gentile nomen undermines. The ivy present in the final formulation symbolize the pain suffered.
Considering that, near the chapel, there were remains suggesting the existence of a

necropolis, the several epigraphic monuments reused in the small temple may all derive from the same location, possibly a grave site of a villa rustica already identified some 650 feet away.
