His son was Consul A. U. C. 495.[[61]] The following inscription is on a slab which was found near the Porta Capona. The title is painted red (rubricatus:)—
L. Cornelio L. F. Scipio, Aidiles, Consol, Censor.
Honc oino ploirume cosentiunt R.
Duonoro optimo fuise viro
Luciom Scipionem. Filios Barbati
Consol Censor Aidiles hic fuet
Hic cepit Corsica Aleria que urbe
Dedet tempestatebus aide mereto.
“Romans for the most part agree, that this one man, Lucius Scipio, was the best of good men. He was the son of Barbatus, Consul, Censor, Ædile. He took Corsica and the city Aleria. He dedicated a temple to the Storms as a just return.”
It is not a little remarkable that the style of this epitaph is more archaic than that of the preceding.
