Translation

[Emperor Caesar] Domitian son of [deified] Vespasian, Augustus, victor over Germany, high priest pontifex maximus, holding tribunician power for the [?th time], consul [for the ?th time], censor perpetuus, father of the fatherland [ . . . pro]con[sul . . .

Commentary

Line 9: Domitian was censor perpetuus from the end of 85.

line 12 The fragmentary text appears to indicate activity in which the proconsul acted as Domitian's agent. The stele resembles boundary stelae: see P.28, recording (in Latin) Domitian's restoration of wrongfully occupied city land to Ptolemais in Latin; but there, as here, the imperatorial salutation is omitted from the title.
