Translation:
For Good Fortune. Marcus Antonius Popillios Agelaos, sophist, chief ship-builder [?offered this]
Commentary:
Reinach suggested he might be related to L(ucius) Antonius Flavianos, father-in-law of C(aius) Julius Politianos in 12.105 (=CIG 2786).
He may also be related to M(arcus) Antonius Zenon Ulpianos, in 12.708 (=Walls 131), found in the same area.
Compare also M(arcus) Antonius Agelaos, stephanephorus in 12.414
