Translation:
Nero Drusus Augustus Caesar
Commentary:
The name in the nominative would be a unique example if this inscription was on a statue base; this may perhaps be part of a longer text.
Boeckh described this as near the 'theatrum', whence Reynolds, loc. cit.; but this is Sherard's term for the Stadium, and it is clear from the associated material that it was found on the in or near the north wall. This lessens but does not eliminate, the likelihood that this text came from the Sebasteion group.

- none.
