Thirteen days before the Kalends of October, in the Augusteum in the forum at Pisa, Quintus Petillius son of Quintus, Publius Rasinius the son of Lucius Bassus, Marcus Puppius the son of Marcus, Quintus Sertorius the son of Quintus Pica, Gnaeus Octavius the son of Gnaeus Rufus, Aulus Albius, the son of Aulus Gutta were present at the writing.
Whereas Gaius Canius the son of Gaius Saturninus, the duumvir proposed a motion about augmenting the honors of Lucius Caesar, the son of Augustus Caesar, the father of the country, pontifex maximus, in the twenty-fifth year of his tribunician power, augur, consul designate, princeps of the youth, and patron of our colony, it was decided to do what was proposed.
Since the senate of the Roman people, among the many and great honors of Lucius Caesar, the son of Augustus Caesar, the father of the country, pontifex maximus, in the twenty-fifth year of his tribunician power, augur, consul designate, princeps of the youth, with the agreement of all orders, with zeal [...two full lines cannot be read here...], responsibility should be given to Gaius Canius Saturninus the duumvir and to ten leading men for choosing and inspecting (the place), or if another place seems more suitable, for buying with public money the place that seems most suitable from private individuals.
So that each year before that altar, thirteen days before the Calends of September, public sacrifice will be offered to his Manes by the magistrates, and those who are present for holding court, with those for whom it is proper to dress this way on that day, wearing dark togas. They will sacrifice to the gods of the underworld, slaughtering an ox and a sheep with dark horns and with dark headbands to the divine Manes of Lucius, and they will burn the victims in that place, and above them they will pour out an urn filled with milk, honey and oil. When they have done that, permission will be given to others, if they want to offer a sacrifice to the gods of the underworld to his Manes privately, though no one should offer more than one wax candle, or one torch or one crown while those who have offered the sacrifice, dressed according to the Gabinian rite, will set the pile of wood on fire which they have there.
So that the place before the altar, where the pile of wood will be gathered and assembled will be open, it shall be surrounded to a distance of forty feet with strong stakes, and the pile of wood that is gathered on his behalf each year will be placed there, and this decree will be inscribed and carved a boundary marker placed near the altar with previous decrees pertaining to his honor.
What will have been and will be necessary for other rites and what will have to be avoided or prescribed on that day, (will be) in accordance with what will be decided concerning these things by the senate of the Roman people.
That at the first possible opportunity, ambassadors from our order will approach the imperator Caesar Augustus, father of the country, pontifex maximus, in the twenty-fifth year of his tribunician power and ask him that it be permitted to the Julian colonists of the colonia Obsequens Julia Pisa to do and observe everything in this decree.
