This is the statue of Taimarsu, son of Taime, grandson of Moqimu, great grandson of Garba, the chief of the caravan (synodiarchēs). . . . The merchants (emporoi) (?) . . . who travel with him from Spasinou Charax set this up in his honor and in honor of Yaddai and Zabdibol, his sons, because he lavishly paid . . . 300 old gold denarii (denarii aurei [?]; Persian dinars [?]) of expenses for them and pleased them. This was done in the 504th year in the month of Xandikos.
