Αὐτοκράτορα Καίσαρα Τίτον Αἴλιον Ἀντωνεινὸν Σεβαστὸν θεῶ Ἁδριανῶ υἱὸν θεῶ Νέρουα Τραιανῶ υἱωνὸν [...] τροφέα καὶ σωτῆρα [...]

Translation

[Emperor Caesar T(itus) Aelius Antoninus Augustus] son [of deified Hadrian], grandson of deified [Nerva Traj]an, [sustainer?] and [saviour . . .

Commentary

Clearly from an emperor's name. Since Σεβαστός would normally be the title immediately preceding the filiation, the first surviving word here is likely to be from υἱόν rather than a name in -ιος or -νος and the second line gives the grandfather's name which can only be Trajan or Hadrian. The subject must then be Antoninus Pius or M. Aurelius, and the former fits better the space available, as in the reconstruction here; for the epithets supplied here see C.110, also for Antoninus.
