This is the statue of Yaddai, son of Taimarsu, grandson of Taime, great grandson of Moqimu, son of Garba, the chief of the caravan (synodiarchēs) of merchants (emporoi). He has satisfied them everywhere . . . from Forat (?) . . . to Vologesias and has always lightened their load (?). The caravan (synodia) which travels down with him set this up in his honor in the 522nd year in the month of Dystros.
