介绍（中）	盖子中央的铭文告诉我们，这座槽形石棺是献给一位名叫阿里亚的女性的，她的女儿阿尼尼娅·希拉拉（Aninia Hilara）活了50年零10个月。阿里亚的肖像正好刻在铭文的右边。恩底弥翁的故事表现在石棺正面强烈的底切浮雕上。在中央，月亮女神赛琳娜从她的战车上下来，去看望她心爱的牧羊人恩底弥翁，后者斜倚在右边。Endymion，最美丽的男人，被赋予了永恒的青春和永恒的睡眠。一个女人站在他身边，一边倒着长生不老的神奇药水，一边拿着一束催人入睡的罂粟花。在石棺的左侧，太阳神赫利俄斯（Helios）升起，而在右侧，赛琳娜（Selene）下降，每个人都坐在一辆战车上。在背面，牧民们在放牧的公牛和未拴轭的马之间的田园风光被低浮雕切割。对自然界永恒循环的暗示与通过无休止的睡眠实现梦想的神话结合在一起。
介绍（英）	An inscription at the center of the lid informs us that this trough-shaped sarcophagus was dedicated to a woman named Arria, who lived fifty years and ten months, by her daughter Aninia Hilara. Arria’s portrait is carved just to the right of the inscription. The story of Endymion is shown in strongly undercut relief on the front of the sarcophagus. In the center, Selene, the moon goddess, alights from her chariot to visit her beloved, the shepherd Endymion, who reclines at the right. Endymion, most beautiful of men, has been granted eternal youth and eternal sleep. A female figure stands over him, pouring out the magic potion of immortality and holding a bunch of sleep-inducing poppies. The scene is flanked on the left end of the sarcophagus by a rising Helios, the sun god, and on the right by a descending Selene, each in a chariot. On the back, a bucolic scene with herdsmen among grazing bulls and unyoked horses is cut in low relief. Allusions to the changeless cycle of nature are combined with a myth of fulfillment through unending sleep.
