Translation
In honour of Consentius. To Lucius Domitius Justus Aemilianus, Roman Knight, excellent man of equestrian status, curator of the republic, on account of his outstanding love for his country and fellow-citizens, in accordance with a decree of the city council and the votes of the people, the Lepcitanians set this up publicly to a very dear citizen.
