On behalf of . . . the victory and eternal endurance of our most divine and great lord (?) . . ., emperor . . . Caesar Marcus Antonius Gordianus (III) (?) . . . Pius Augustus, and . . . the most divinely favored Augusta Sabinia (?) . . . Tranquillina. The association (?) gathered around the . . . priest Name . . . , the father (patēr) . . . Aurelius Numenius . . . (the remainder is very fragmentary and lists the names of other functionaries and members of the association, including the chief-gallos [archigallos] and two or more secretaries [grammateus]).
