Edition τὸν ἀξιολογώτατον πρῶτον ἄρχοντα δὶς ταμίαν γραμματέα δήμου δὶς ἀρχινεωποιὸν τῆς θεοῦ Ἀφροδείτης πολλάκις ἀγοράνομον καὶ πάσας τὰς μεγίστας ἀρχὰς ἐκτελέσαντα καὶ ἐν ταῖς λοιπαῖς ἐπιδόσεσιν χρήσιμα πραξαντα τῇ πατρίδι συνγενῆ Τιβερίου Κλαυδίου Αὐρηλίου Καπετωλείνου
Translation

[...]the most noteworthy, chief archon twice, treasurer, secretary of the People twice, chief neopoios of the goddess Aphrodite several times, agoranomos, having held all the highest offices and served his homeland usefully on all the remaining occasions for benefactions, a relation of Tiberius Claudius Aurelius Kapitoleinos[...]

Commentary

The translation assumes that the figures are to be taken with the office which precedes, not that which follows. For the family see prosopography.
