Summary
This quote means that when looking at historical inscriptions or ancient writings, we cannot necessarily trust them as entirely truthful or accurate. Lapidary inscriptions usually refer to messages carved into hard stone or other durable materials, such as statues or monuments. The quote suggests that people who inscribe these messages may not always be honest or objective, and it is important to approach these inscriptions with critical thinking and skepticism. In other words, we cannot take everything written in stone at face value.
