Flavianus! Uomo espertissimo di ogni virtù, di innata mitezza, valente per la sua longanima benignità, quanto mai equo e moderato nel rendere i giudizi, sacro ministro di rettitudine, a Magnius Asper Flavianus, uomo perfettissimo, governatore della Prouincia di Tripolitania, gli abitanti di Leptis Magna, per l’amore che egli mostrò nei loro confronti, e per la ponderata integrità nella conduzione delle cause (?), al patrono quanto mai degno, come eterna testimonianza di fama e gloria, posero.
