Apparatus

[^a1: at 4: ]ΣΑΝ ΤΑΣ ΟΣΠ[ [Kraeling suggests there is the end of a verb, e.g. ἐποίη]σαν; what follows could then be interpreted as τὰς ὁσί[ας]]

[^a2: at 5: ]ΟΡΤΟΥ ΦΙ.[ [ο might be ω; ρ might be β; τ might be ς or γ and if so there is space for another letter before it; there is space for a letter after it.]]

Translation

Commentary

The text began with the title of Septimius Severus which might be restored as shown.

Line 5: It is tempting to suggest that there is a reference here to the imperial fiscus, and perhaps to the συνήγορος τοῦ φίσκου.
