Interesting, according to this article there used to be more to the inscription you showed: http://jhmas.oxfordjournals.org/con.....X/1/62.extract
The rest of it used to say "I conversed with the spirits of the dead for 40 years, as with the living." It makes one wonder why or at what point that part of the inscription was erased.
