ἔτους ρλδ Καλλοῦϲ Φιλόϲτρατοϲ ἐτῶν κγ

Translation

Year 134. Kallous (? or of Kallo) Philostratos aged 23.

Commentary

line 1: 134 of the Actian era = CE 103/4.

ll.2-3: If the case of Καλλοῦϲ is nominative either the subject had two names or there is an error for Φιλοϲτράτου in line 4; if it is genitive, and so from a woman's name, De Cou suggested that Philostratos was Kallo's slave - but such an inversion of the normal order of names is unlikely.
