Edition Ἰουλίαν Σεβαστὴν μητέρα κάστρων ὁδῆμος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ εὐεργέτιν ἐξ ἀπολείψεως Φλαβίου Ἀττάλου ἐπιμεληθέντος Μάρκου Αὐρηλίου Χρησίμου τοῦ Ἀπολλωνίου

Translation

Julia Augusta mother of the military camps: the People (put up the statue of) their benefactress, from the bequest of Flavius Attalos. Marcus Aurelius Chresimos son of Apollonios took responsibility.

Commentary

A statue of Caracalla (12.641=75.326) which is a pair to this, was found in the same area; a further statue of Caracalla (12.326=MAMA 451) was set up from the same bequest; but only Julia Domna is described as a benefactor, although there is no indication of what she might have done
