Translation

[Emperor Caesar Vespasian, holding tribunician power] for the third time, [acclaimed imperator] for the 8th time, father of the country, consul [three times], designated consul [for the fourth time]: through Quintus Paconius Agrippinus [his own] envoy [ . . .

Commentary

Although it is possible, it cannot be taken as certain that the land concerned lay within the city wall; broken as it is, the stone could have been brought from outside with comparative ease.

In line 3 γ is the only figure that corresponds with surviving traces; the date is presumably the second half of 71 as in C.429.

Q. Paconius Agrippinus, for whom see PIR2 P 0027, was active in Cyrenaica under Vespasian, 71-74 CE: see C.147, C.428, C.429, C.430, C.438, C.747, M.68, M.165, M.229, M.230, M.232, M.238, M.239, P.397.
