Commentary:

There is no indication of date for this inscription, within the imperial period, and the restorations are very uncertain; but the apparent similarities of expression make it seem likely to be contemporary with 11.5, and so of the first century A.D.

The reference to 'times' (l.9) suggests activities in times of difficulty, as, in 12.103 and 12.701; but the difficulties here might be no more than a corn shortage.

Photographs:
none.
