Commentary

Line 1: Probably AP, although the bowl is brought round to meet the upright which is not so with the P in line 2; but since the word looks as if it was placed centrally and is emphasised also by being spaced only half a line above line 2 it is be attractive to restore Ap[ollini] or Ap[olloniatae].

Line 2: Apparently the conclusion of the title of one member of an imperial house to be followed, after a space at least as long as the word which partly survives in line 1, by that of another; a third, erased after damnation, may have stood in line 3, suggesting Vespasian, Titus and Domitian; but this position might alternatively have been occupied by the name of a disgraced proconsul.

Line 4: Presumably the name of the donor or the dedicating official.
