Translation
To a man who was, in one and the same year, a duumvir of the Lepcimagnensians and priest of the province of Tripolitania, a most innocent man, an irreproachable leader of the city, lover of his country and of his fellow-citizens, Titus Flavius Vibianus, excellent man of equestrian status, perpetual flamen priest, priest of the Laurentes of Lavinas and priest of the Mother of the Gods, prefect of all sacred matters, on account of his presentation of a great variety of delights including ten Lybian beasts; honoured in accordance with a vote of the People and a decree of the city council.
Commentary
ll. 7-8. T. Flauio Vibiano. Also in 568, ll. 1-11, where the signum Heraclius suggests a relationship with T. Flavius Frontinus Heraclius (564,595) and his son T. Flavius Vibianus Iunior (595).
