τίϲ; πόθεν; ἐκ Λυκίηϲ μέν, ἀριϲτεύϲαϲ δ' ἐνὶ θώκοιϲ
Τατιανὸϲ θεϲμοῖϲ τε δίκηϲ πτολίεθρα σαώϲαϲ.
ἀλλά με πανδαμάτωρ χρόνοϲ ὤλλυεν, εἰ μὴ ἐμὸϲ παῖϲ
ἐξ ἐμέθεν τρίτατοϲ καὶ ὁμώνυμοϲ ἔργα θ' ὅμοιοϲ
ἐκ δαπέδων ἀνελὼν ϲτήληϲ ἔπι θῆκεν ὁρᾶϲθαι
πᾶϲιν ἀριζηλον ναέταιϲ ξίνοιϲει θ' ὁμοίωϲ
Καρῶν ἐκ γέηϲ ὃϲ ἀπήλαϲε λοίγιον ἄτην
τὴν δὲ δίκην μερόπεϲιν ὁμέϲτιον ὤπαϲ’ ἐπεῖνα[^1]
πεμφθεὶϲ ἐκ βαϲιλῆοϲ ἔθ' ἁδομένοιϲιν ἀρωγόϲ.

[^1: ι]

[^a1: at 10: στήλης ἐπίθηκεν | στήλαις ἐπέθηκεν | στήλης ἔπι θῆκεν]

[^a2: at 16: ὤπασε πείνᾳ | ὤπασ' ἐπεῖναι | ποινᾷ | ὤπασ' ἐπεῖναι (misprint) [; we see a faint upright as the last letter in the line]]

[^a3: at 18: ἐελδομένοισον | ἔθ' ἁδομένοισιν]

Who is this? From where? I am Tatianos from Lycia, who held the highest officies, and by just laws saved cities. But all-conquering time would have destroyed me if my child, of the third generation, who has the same name and similar achievements, had not lifted me up from the ground and set me on a monument, to be seen and admired by all, local inhabitants and strangers alike. It is he who drove deadly ruin from the land of the Carians, and gave justice to dwell among men, when he had been sent from the emperor as a defender for the people, who still rejoice.

Wer ist dieser? Und woher? Aus Lykien, Tatianos, der sich auf dem Richterstuhl ausgezeichnet und die Städte durch seine Rechtsprechung gerettet hat. Aber die allesbezwingende Zeit hätte mich (das Standbild) vernichtet, wehnn nicht mein Urenkel gleichen Namens, auch an Taten mit gleich, mich vom Boden aufgehoben und sichtbar auf die Säule gesetzt hätte, sodass ich für alle Bewohner und gleichermassen für die Fremden beneidenswert bin. (mein Urenkel) der dem verderblichen Schaden (der Rechtlosigkeit) aus dem Land der Karer vertrieben und es erreicht hat, das Iustitia für die Menschen eine Hausgenossin wurde, als er vom Kaiser ihnen, die sich daran erfreuten, als Helfer geschickt wurde.

For the man honoured, Flavius Eutolmius Tatianos see PLRE I Tatianus 5, and the dedications for which he was responsible, , and ; the statue is put up by his descendant, another Tatianos, governor of Caria.
