Translation:
They are living. The area belongs to T. F(lavius) Threptos and T. F(lavius) Aristo Diogenianos.
Commentary:
Presumably a family which acquired Roman citizenship under one of the Flavian emperors, although the abbreviation of the nomen to Φ is notable. Perhaps in a text addressed mainly to other Aphrodisians they inclined to stress their local names.
