Translation
With Good Fortune, The emperor of (all) the earth under the sun, and our victorious master, Flavius Arcadius 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.1. [Ἀγαθῆι] Mendel; line omitted by Grégoire; Ἀ[γαθῇ] Boulanger, Robert.
l.2. [αὐτοκράτορα] Grégoire
ll. 5 ff. Grégoire was unaware of this erasure. Mendel saw three erased lines, followed by another two, as do we; Boulanger
recorded three erased lines, and read ΟΣ at the end of l.5. The readings given here, from the stone and from a squeeze, are very unclear.
