The statue of Artemis, from the dedications which have been made to her, Numisius Marcellianus, proconsul, consecrated, through the agency of the priest Ti(berios) Kl(audios) Ti(berius) Cl(audius) Battos : L(oukios) Antonios Sekoundos L(ucius) Antonius Secundus, neokoros provided to Battos 17 pounds, litra 8 ounces, from the following priestesses of Artemis: Kl(audia) Cl(audia) Arata, 3 ounces; Mounatia Munatia Arata, 8 ounces; Olympias daughter of Karnedas, 5 ounces; Antonia Prokla, 6 ounces; Ancharena Teimo, 8 ounces; Kl(audia) Phausteina Cl(audia) Faustina, 6 ounces; Teleso daughter of Hegesias, 6 ounces; Ancharena Teimo, 5 ounces; Kl(audia) Cl(audia) Prokla , 3 ounces; Mego daughter of Euphranor 5 ounces; Kl(audia) Phaunilla Cl(audia) Faunilla, 6 ounces, and an ox, 10 ounces, pounds litra; Olympias daughter of Theophilos, 3 ounces; Anaxo daughter of Euphranor, 3 ounces; Bedia Vedia Marina, 3 ounces; Phlabia Flavia Kudimacha, 4 ounces; Ioulia Julia Kleomeda, 10 ounces; Mego daughter of Euboulos, 4 ounces; Phl(abia) Fl(avia) Neikippa, 3 ounces; Ioulia Phlakkilla Julia Flaccilla, 1 ounce; Phl(abia) Ioustinilla Fl(avia) Justinilla, 10 ounces; Sestia Phaustilla Sestia Faustilla, 5 ounces; Beludria, 10 ounces; Battos, on behalf of the city, 6 ounces; Habrolla a deer (?) and a jar, one pound, 8 [ounces].

Lines 6, 33: For the proconsul, Numisius Marcellianus, PIR2, N211, see C.143, C.220, C.221, C.305, and C.299, dated under a M. Aurelius Antoninus; not known outside Cyrenaica. Oliverio placed his governorship under Caracalla, on the basis of the letter forms of the three inscriptions; Romanelli, rightly we think, preferred M. Aurelius since a date before the constitutio Antoniniana is indicated by the noticeable proportion of priestess listed here without Roman gentilicia.

Line 10: Antonius Secundus: His contribution, 17 litra 8 ounces, is the sum total of the contributions of the priestesses and the city - he was clearly the treasurer.

Line 35: Oliverio took the first word as ἄβρωμα which he interpreted as a robe, and the second as ἔλαφον. We believe this to be a misreading; Ferri read ἐλαίον which seems to us a possible alternative to ἔλαφον.
