Commentary
Line 1: Either a single emperor, τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶ]ν or plural emperors, Αὐτοκρατόρων Καισάρω]ν; if the former the emperor is probably Marcus Aurelius or Caracalla, if the latter, the choice lies between Aurelius and Verus, Aurelius and Commodus and Caracalla and Geta.
Line 2: Possibly τ[ὸ τ]εμενος το[ῦ . . . the traces are not compatible with δεδειγμένος.
