Translation:

[e.g. The Council and the People (honoured) L. Egnatius Victor Lollianus, clarissimus, proconsul on several occasions, pure and just and the adornment of every virtue. The respobnsvibility (for the statue) was taken by Tiberius Claudius Julius Candidus Hegemoneus, being First Archon, son and grandson of highpriests of Asia and highpriest (of the city), cousin of consulars.

Commentary:

For L. Egnatius Victor Lollianus, see PIR2, E, 36; for further discussion, see Reynolds, loc. cit.
