Apparatus

1.7. The cross, faintly cut on the base below the inscription, was first observed by the Roberts; it is not certainly associated with the text.

Translation

The Carians set up in their own metropolis the statue of the eternal Augusta, most dear to God, Aelia Flavia Flacilla, the mistress of the inhabited world.

Commentary

See discussion at III.21.

Locations

Hadrianic Baths, East Court: Thermes, façade (Gaudin). At the north side of the east court of the baths, next to 5.217. Findspot. Findspot (1994)..

History of Recording

Recorded by Gaudin (104) and noted by Boulanger (Notebook A, 43); the stone appears subsequently to have broken into two fragments, of which the lower was recorded by J. and L. Robert in 1946. Both fragments were recorded by the NYU expedition.
