Commentary

a and b certainly belong to the same monumental inscription, which ran along the architrave of the portico flanking the Valley Street. a probably gives part of the titles of a pair of emperors; and, within the limits indicated by the letter forms, the most likely pair are Septimius Severus and Caracalla, between 198 and 211 - Ἀραβι]κῶν Ἀ[διαβηνικῶν. b might also come from their titles - ὑπάτ[ων - or from that of the dedicating proconsul, [ἀνθ]υπάτ[ου].
