Trans:
(Statue) of Honorius. To Amnius Manius Caesonius Nicomachus Anicius Paulinus, of clarissimus rank, consul, prefect of the City, judge in the imperial court of appeals, proconsul of the provinces of Asia and Hellespontus, judge representing the emperor, legate of Carthage under the proconsul of Africa, Anicius Iulianus, his father; whose forethought, service and integrity in public life (res publica) ensured, through his attentiveness, that the city-blocks (insulae) of the guild of tanners (corpus corariorum) be restored and embellished to their former condition according to the laws of previous rulers, the emperors Lucius Valerius Septimius Severus and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Augusti. In glorious memory and for all his justice, the guild of tanners decreed [this] to a worthy patron.
