To Caius Flavius Pudens, son of Quintus, of the Roman voting tribe Papiria, flamen priest of Liber Pater, duovir, perpetual flamen priest, whose father, Flavius Tullus, in addition to the many liberal gifts by which he adorned his country, brought in a water supply at his own expense, also constructed twelve pools and ornamented them with stucco [or mosaic] and marble statues, moreover promised the republic 200,000 sesterces for the upkeep of this same aqueduct and paid them; moreover, because Pudens himself, in addition to the numerous munificent gifts which he made to his fellow-citizens, was also the first in his country to give an outstanding gladiatorial show lasting for five days. The city council of the Sabrathans, on popular demand, decided that a quadriga should be erected to him at public expense. Flavius Pudens, satisfied with the honour, set it up at his own expense.
