Translation

[Nero Cl]audius son of deified Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, grandson of Germanicus Caesar, great grandson of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, and of deified Augustus, Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Imperator, by the action of Lucius Acilius Strabo his personal envoy, restored to the Roman People the boundaries of the estates which had been occupied by private persons.

Commentary

Clearly in this comparatively remote spot a Latin version was not thought worth cutting, at any rate not on all stelae.

For Acilius Strabo see PIR2 A 0082, and addenda; he was active in Cyrenaica under Claudius and Nero: A.25, A.50, A.68, C.434, C.748, M.125, M.141, M.143, M.153, M.172, M.238, M.251, M.275, and perhaps M.68; for his appointment see on M.141.
