The Council and the People (dēmos) of the first and greatest metropolis of Asia, twice temple–warden of the Augusti (Sebastoi), the city of the Ephesians, honored P. Vedius Antoninus, son of P. Vedius Antoninus. The elder Antoninus was civic president, head of the gymnasium, twice secretary of the People, Asiarch, festival–leader of the great Ephesian (10) and Pasithean festivals, and legate to the senate and the emperors. The honoree, Antoninus the younger, was civic president, secretary, Asiarch, festival–leader of the great Ephesian games and chief–officer of the Olympian games. He served as ambassador to the senate and the (20) emperors concerning the greatest matters, and he was himself a victor. He served as head of the gymnasium unfailingly during the visit of the greatest emperor Lucius Aurelius Verus all the days he visited. He has also adorned the city with many and great works, (30) and he has shown love of honor readily and voluntarily each time. Those who are engaged in the taste (i.e. wine–tasters [?]) set up this statue.
