Apparatus

In ll.5 and 6 Reinach read nothing; Robert read in l.5, Φλ(?) Εὐτόλμιος Τατια[·· ? ··]. The restoration here is based on very unclear readings.

Translation:

Flavius Honorius, of divine descent, most dear to God, the most renowned. [[Flavius Eutolmius Tatianos, the clarissimus, prefect of the sacred praetorium]], dedicated (this statue) with the customary devotion, in the time of Antonius Priscus, clarissimus praeses.

Commentary:

. For this group of dedications see 4.10, 4.11 and discussion at ala2004 III.24; for the monument as whole, see Smith (1999), 162.
