Translation

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

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.
