Translation:
[·· ? ··] the kinds of delightful shows, no less than his father; set up by the vote of the people and decree of the city council.
Commentary:
Presumably T. Flavius Vibianus Iunior, see 564, 595. The fragment appears to be inscribed with a text identical with the last four lines of 595.
