Translation

Domitia Augusta, wife of Emperor Domiian Caesar Augustus, victor in Germania: [ . . -]os son of Ial, [ . . . ], Hyperbassas [priests ] of Apollo dedicated her statue

Commentary

The dedication of a statue of the wife or daughter of a reigning emperor. From what survives of his name and titles, the choice lies between Domitian and Trajan and Domitian's name fills the requirements of the spacing better.
