Here is my tentative translation into Italo Romance of the first century: Di iferi, vobe comedo, si quicca sa[n]titate' avete' ah tadro Ticene Carisi, codcud aga, cod incida onnia in avversa. Di iferi, vobe comedo iliu memra, colore, figura, caput, capeilla, umra, cerebru, frute, suprecilia, o', nasu, metu, buca', labra, verba, alitu, colu, iocur, umero', cor, pulmone', itestina', vetre, bratzia, dicito', mano', ublicu, visica, femena, cenua, crura, talo', planta, dicito'. Di iferi, si illa videro tabescete, vobe sacrificiu lube' o' anuversariu facere dibu parentibu eliu vovio. Peculiu ta[be]sca'. V is pronounced as v, the ' at the end of words represents an 's' that was not pronunced at all in common speech by Jesus' time and probably well before.
