To good fortune.  The world-wide performers (technitai), sacred-victors (hieronikai), and crowned-victors (stephanitai) gathered around Dionysos and emperor Trajan Hadrian Caesar Augustus and their fellow-competitors (synagōnistai) set this up for Ulpius Aelius Pompeianus, the helledarch (i.e. “leader of the Greeks” in the province) and high-priest.  To good fortune.
