Latin inscription.

To Publius Etereius Quadratus son of Publius, of the Quirina tribe: his mother Etereia Aristolais set up a statue. For its dedication she provided the customary banquet to the association (collegium) of rag-dealers and gave . . . x denarii. Annually and in perpetuity on the birthday of Quadratus, April 9th, at the place where he is buried they shall use the interest on this sum to offer a sacrifice a goose and cake; they shall hold the customary banquet in the temple; and, they shall bring an offering of roses in season and cover and crown the statue. They have agreed that they (i.e. the members) will do this.
