Translation
In honour of Lucius Aemilius Quintus, perpetual flamen priest, because he made continual effort to meet the needs of his province and because he brought its shared misfortunes to the sacred i.e. imperial ears and obtained a remedy; the city council and the people of the splendid colony of Sabratha, in accordance with the decrees of the whole province, dedicated this; Flavius Venantius took charge of the work.
