Transcription attempt (line by line):
DIVO
IOSE
OCA
VAPA
POIHI (unclear, might be PONTI or similar)
DIVO = “divine / to the holy” (Latin), very common in funerary inscriptions. It could also mean “dedicated to God / a saint”.
IOSE = most likely Joseph (José).
OCA… could be the beginning of a surname, possibly Ocampo, Ocaña, or something similar.
VAPA might be an abbreviation or badly worn word (sometimes vapa or vopa is shorthand in medieval inscriptions, but it could also be initials).
The bottom word POIHI / PONHI / PONTI is very hard to read, could be a title (like pontifex or abbreviation for p[at]ri).
This is Latin with Spanish names – typical for 16th–17th century inscriptions. The formula “DIVO + name” indicates it was a dedication or funerary honorific to a Christian person (probably José + surname starting with OCA).

Cáceres
Funerary slab inside the Iglesia de San Juan in Cáceres.
Transcription (in capitals as inscribed):
SEPULTVR A DE FRANCISCO CO…
SEPULTVR = abbreviation for SEPULTURA (“tomb” or “burial”).
A DE FRANCISCO = “of Francisco …” (the name of the person buried here).
The letters CO… suggest the beginning of his surname (e.g., Francisco Co…).
At the very bottom I can faintly see TRINA (which might be part of Trinidad or a family name).
The top part shows a carved coat of arms/shield, very typical for family tomb slabs in the late medieval and early modern period. These coats of arms marked the burial place of prominent families, clergy, or nobility.
The inscription is in Latinized Spanish funerary style. The word SEPULTURA is Latin in origin, though widely used in Spanish epigraphy. Proper names (Francisco) are in Spanish.
A hybrid between Latin formula and Spanish names, very common in Iberian tombs of the 16th–18th centuries.
