Panel, the last four lines of which are somewhat damaged.

The sacred synod (synodos) of world-wide performers (technitai) gathered around Dionysos and emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, son of Trajan, grandson of the god Nerva, the crowned sacred-victors (hieronikai), and their fellow-competitors (synagōnistai) honored Julius Paris, citizen of Claudia, also known as Apamea, and citizen of Antioch, who has also been honored in the (Roman) colony of Berytos, tragic pantomimic actor, high-priest for life at the place, and crown-bearer of Apollo Archegetes (“the Founder”). This was done on account of his honor and benefaction.
