[...] Germanicum tribunicia potestate [...]

Translation

. . . victor in Germa]nia, holding tr[ibunician power . . .

Commentary

If the lettering is correctly dated the first surviving word must be Germani]cum, and the emperor therefore Gaius, Claudius, Nero or Domitian. Perhaps to be associated with one or all of the monumental texts in Latin, (T.3, T.216, T.217, T.247,) recorded in the area of the city wall nearby; and if the connection with T.247 is accepted, the erasure there eliminates Claudius, and probably points to Domitian.
