[^a1: at ii 3: ΕΝΟ | ΕΜΟ [At the end of the line the letter might be Π.]]

[^1]: If it was permitted, Balerianos, who was the leader of your troop, would have wished to make even a golden image of your virtue - indeed I swear by yourself. Doulkitios, because you were an unbroken tower of lawfulness. But now he has set you in marble in front of the baths, so that the stone may remain as a witness of your labours.

[^1: i]

[^2]: Place of chief hot-food-seller

[^2: ii]

[^3]: Valerianos, der Erste in deiner militia, hätte - wenn dies gesetzlich erlaubt gewesen wäre - gewiss auch ein goldenes Bild deiner Trefflichkeit anfertigen lassen, (das schwöre ich) bei dir selbst, weil du ein unzerbrechlicher Turm der Gesetzlichkeit gewesen bist. Nun hat er dich in Marmor aufgestellt vor dem Badeteich, damit der Stein (bleibender) Zeuge deiner Mühe sei.
