To the fathers be homage today who lived before, who lived above. Those placed in the earthly dust, those who saw many well-born, attend.
Let this our adoration be today addressed to those Pitṛs our predecessors, to those our successors,who have departed (to the world of the manes); to those who are seated in the terrestrial sphere, to those whoare present among opulent people.
Now let us pay this homage to the Fathers, to those who passed of old and those who followed, Those who have rested in the earthly region, and those who dwell among the Mighty Races.
