In the year that the emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus Pius Felix, for the 6th time, and Marcus Petronius Septimianus, were consuls, on March 23 in the temple of the association (collegium) of laborers and rag-dealers of Regium. Whereas on the proposal of the treasurers, Publius Saenius Marcellinus and Gaius Aufidius Dialogus, it was stated that Tutilius Julianus, a generous man distinguished for his manner of life, his unassuming nature, and his innate modesty, ought to be adopted by our association as its patron, so that the evidence of our decision might serve as an example to other prospective benefactors. Concerning what we were pleased to see done concerning this matter, it was resolved as follows: We feel, one and all, that this most honorable proposal has been made by the treasurer and masters (magistri) of our society with good counsel; that therefore apologies should certainly be made to the honorable gentleman Julianus for the unavoidableness of this belated consideration of ours; that he should be asked to undertake, if he please, the function of patron of our association; and, that a bronze tablet inscribed with this resolution should be placed in his house. Adopted.
