Translation

Essendo imperatore Cesare Augusto pontefice massimo - Il proconsule Quinto Lucanio Proculo - provvide a restaurare le mura dell'acropoli.

For [Emperor] Caesar Augustus, pontifex maximus: Q(uintus) Lucanius Proculus, proconsul, was responsible for restoring the walls of the citadel

Commentary

line 1: In or after 12 BCE. The selection of this one title here and in the contemporary C.319, line 1, might suggest that it was recently conferred when they were cut.

Line 2: Q(uintus) Lucanius Proculus: PIR2 L 348; also in C.319, and perhaps C.104, but not otherwise known.

Line 3: Oliverio proposed to connect the work with the Marmaric War ending in 3 CE, see GVCyr 27, line 1; Romanelli, more cautiously, relates it to the Marmaric danger in general.
