Translation:
[...]the most noteworthy, chief archon twice, treasurer, secretary of the People twice, chief neopoios of the goddess Aphrodite several times, agoranomos, having held all the highest offices and served his homeland usefully on all the remaining occasions for benefactions, a relation of Tiberius Claudius Aurelius Kapitoleinos[...]
Commentary:
The translation assumes that the figures are to be taken with the office which precedes, not that which follows. For the family see prosopography.
- Photographs:
- none.
