To good fortune. The silversmiths (argyrochooi) of the first and greatest metropolis of the Ephesians in Asia – thrice temple-warden of the Augusti – set this up for Valerius Festus, the proconsul (anthypatos) descended from proconsuls, founder of many works in Asia and in Ephesos after the passing of Antoninus, who enlarged (or: enhanced) the harbor of Croesus. He was their own savior and benefactor in everything.
