Libuae sacrum pro salute Publi Pomponi Secundi pro consulis Manius Messius Atticus cliens

Sacred to Libya. For the safety of Publius Pomponius Secundus, proconsul, M(anius) Messius Atticus, his client dedicated this.

Romanelli believed that the letters cannot be much later than mid first century CE; we do not feel confident that they can be so precisely dated.

Line 4: Pehaps the Attikos of C.150; in any case, no doubt, resident in Cyrene and in view of his use of Latin likely to be of an italian immigrant family; he had presumably received favours from the proconsul.
