Translation

The Council and the People and the Gerousia honoured with the erection of statues Tiberius Claudius Ktesias and ia his wife and Tiberius Claudius their son, on account of their lives of virtue and dignity, since they dedicated for perpetual distributions and crownings both to the Council and to the Tribes and those who drew lots first [? the annual interest] on 11,000 denarii.

Commentary

Waddington restored ἡ βουλὴ καὶ ἡ γερουσία in the first line, consequently shortening the supplement required on the left.
