Apparatus

l.5. Mendel apparently did not copy Φλ or the superfluous λ in Οὐαλλεντινιανόν; Boulanger recorded both.

ll. 7-12 have been erased. Grégoire was unaware of this erasure; Mendel saw three lines erased, Boulanger recorded two. Our readings from the stone and from a squeeze are very unclear.

Translation

With Good Fortune. The emperor of all the earth under the sun, and our victorious master, Flavius Valentinianus the eternal Augustus. Flavius Eutolmius Tatianos. clarissimus, prefect of the sacred praetorium, dedicated (this statue) with the customary devotion, in the time of Antonius Priskos, clarissimus praeses.
