Translation (hr)	Ništa nije izvjesnije od smrti i ništa nije neizvjesnije od njezina časa. Stavivši na prvo mjesto su istinu, ja, Petar Martin Stanković, doktor medicine i kirurgije, još za života sam dao načiniti ovu grobnicu, koja će uskoro pokriti moje kosti. Preminuo je 6. svibnja 1842. u dobi od 73 godine.
Translation (en)	Nothing is more certain than death and nothing is more uncertain than its time. Having put this truth at the beginning, I, Petar Martin Stanković, doctor of medicine and surgery, still alive, ordered the construction of this tomb that is soon to cover my bones. He died on the 6th of May 1842, at the age of 73.

Notes	This is the tomb slab of Petar Stancovich's brother Martin. Centered text, very regular capital with enlarged initial letters of NICHIL and all from EGO to DOCTOR except for AC. Orthography is modern. Cic., Cato 74: "Moriendum enim certe est, et incertum an hoc ipso die." https://hrcak.srce.hr/file/121293, p. 118 https://barban.hr/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/2.pdf, p. 97
Critical apparatus	a) Originally 'NICHIL', but 'C' is crossed over by a vertical line. Cf. 'NIHIL' in line 2. b) Corrected from clearly visible 'CERTIOR'. c) Corrected from 'INCERTIOR'. d) ÔRA e) 'E' caudata. f) Under this word a small number '18520' is shallowly engraved - perhaps an ID of the slab.
