Apparatus

l. 6, [ἡλ]ικί|α is a possiblility here.

l. 9, a serif of uncertain shape seems to be visible; perhaps Α or Υ.

Translation:
not usefully translatable.

Commentary:

Possibly an honorary text, as would be suggested by ἡλικία if it is rightly restored in l. 6. Line 2 would indicate that the honorand was an Aurelius/a.
