Notes
Welles (1938, 427) dates the inscription by the titles given to Julia Domna; Jones (1928, 164) holds that Apolleis was an "engraver's error for Απολλειου or some similar name."
Translation
To Agathe Tyche. The city dedicates this to mistress Julia Domna pius Sebasta after the public charge of Theodoros Apolleis
