Death & Dying
Book VIII, 77: On the tomb of all of them
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
One stone encloses the renowned Gregories, father and son, two equal lights, both of them priests, the other received noble Nonna with her great son Caesarius. So they separated their tombs and sons, but the journey of all is on high; one desire of eternal life fills all.
