English translation
Translation by: Charlotte M. Roueché
The platform belongs to Tiberius Claudius Diadumenus and his household, according to the concession granted to him by Salvius, son of Hermogenes, through the debt registry. If anyone removes any of these things, let neither the land bear fruit nor the sea be navigable for the one who attempted it.
