There is no published description of the stone. Now lost. First recorded in the 17th c. by Vito Maria Giovinazzi in a sand pit (arenarium) of the Catacombs of Priscilla on the via Salaria. In 1791 seen by Luigi Gaetano Marini in the Cemetery of Saints Thraso and Saturninus, likewise on the via Salaria.Discussion
The expression cum sanctis may refer to a burial ad sanctos, or a conviction that the deceased would be admitted to the eternal glory with the ‘saints’, i.e. all the redeemed Christians, in Heavens.
It is not clear whether the name of the deceased was Anastasius or Anastasia.
The editors of the Epigraphic Database Bari date the inscription to the late 3rd or early 4th c.Bibliography
