P. Aelius Quintus Claudius Philippianus Varus, life–long director of the Klareian and Varian contests, high–priest of Augustus, demonstrating his glory during the entire four days of the gladiatorial contests to the finish with iron weapons and (10) each of the five days with barbed iron spears. The guild (syntechnia) of dyers (bapheis) honoured their own benefactor, according to the decree of the Council and the People (dēmos), when Claudius Menis was superintendent.
