Tiberio Caesari Augusti filio consuli imperatori tribunicia potestate Sufenas Proculus faciendum curauit

Translations

For Tiberius, son of Augustus, consul, acclaimed imperator, with tribunician Power; Sufenas Proculus was responsible for the construction.

Commentary

For the fourth century BCE building see Laronde op.cit.; the original dedication is on the architrave and frieze above (IGCyr 098500). . It is not clear how much new work was involved when Sufenas Proculus dedicated it to Tiberius, though his use of f(aciendum) in line 2 would be consonant with an extensive reconstruction.

Line 1: Between AD 4 when Augustus adopted Tiberius and 14 when he died. For the same text on a statue base in the Strategion, see C.226; for other Cyrenaean dedications to Tiberius as heir, see C.9, C.118.

Line 2: For Sufenas Proculus see commentary on C.9, q.v.also in C.226, ; C.118, lines 3, 4.
