Apparatus

Fellows had considerable difficulty in reading this stone, which was more easily understood from a squeeze, before the clearing of the West Gate in 2002

.ll.4-5: Cormack read an upright at the beginning of l.5 and so restored Δ[ο|κ]ιμιανὸν. and, in ll.6-7 Δο[κιμια]νοῦ; but there is no parallel to support this conjecture. We do not read the upright on the squeeze. l. 7 Cormack proposed Ἕρμιο[ν], a further name for the son; but the accusative would probably be written with an alpha

Translation:

[? The Council and] the People (honoured) [Ti]berius Cl[audius A]ntonius D[iogenes? ?Am]mianos [son of] [Ti]berius Cla[udius A]ntonius Do[meti]nos Hermias.

Commentary:

For the absence of a verb, compare e.g. (unpublished) (=MAMA 451), 12.642 (=452), (11.62 (=453).
