The inscription is an an ansate panel, with the surviving panel decorated with goose head pelta...... NVMINB(VS) AVG(VSTORVUM) ET DEAE IOV[.... ..... ...SIVS AEDEM PRO PARTE D[...... 'To the Emperors' divinities and the goddess Iov.... ....sius (restored) this partly destroyed temple.' The name of the goddess beginning IOV...., is unidentifiable, and a local deity is probably in question. Of the dedicator's name only the suffix survives..." There is sufficient room inside the panel for approximately another two lines of inscription, but the space has been left unfilled.
