Commentary

a, the principal text, is in worse condition; b gives the fuller text and enables the restorations. c appears to represent a first attempt at inscribing b, on an unsatisfactory surface.

Claudius became pater patriae in January 42, censor in 47, consul for the 5th and last time in 51, imperator for the 27th and last time in 52 and held the tribunician power for the 13th time from January 53 - January 54. Although Tac. Ann. XIV. 18 (available at Perseus) states that Acilius Strabo was commissioned by Claudius this, with M.141 and M.238, currently provide the only epigraphic evidence for his activity before the accession of Nero. .

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.
