Translations

Dedica di una statua di Ammone, alla consacrazione della quale presiedette Flavio Pudente Pomponiano, che morì gloriosamente.

. . . ] priest of ?Ammon, dedicated the statue of Ammon, during the proconsulate of Flavius Pudens Pomponianus, most excellent proconsul, who consecrated the monument.

Commentary

Laronde suggest that the name and titles of an emperor might have been in the lost upper lines, citing C.299 as an example.

Line 2: This would be the only evidence for a priest of Ammon in Cyrenaica; Laronde suggested that this is a prioest of Apollo, and that ΤΩ ΑΜΜΩΝΟΣ could be a dittography derived from line 3.

Lines 5-6: For this proconsul, PIR2 F 0346, see Laronde, art. cit., and Thomassen, Laterculi 38.062; the date is proably Severan.
