merely the agoranomos, but also the commissioner for importing corn (ovTévns) 
and the magistrate (ovropvAaé) who regulated its price.”’* 
We perceive in this last name an almost exact correspondence with the lan- 
guage of our inscription, ®YAAZANTA . THN . EYOHNIAN.T 
It is now time that I should submit this document in its more particular 
statements to my auditory. It has been, as I have said, quite mutilated in the 
commencement ; but the allusions therein will be readily understood by our sup- 
posing that the personage who is the subject of the titulus had been a trustee of, 
or in some way possessed a control over, certain funds which had been devised 
by his parents for public improvements. 
[The Senate and the People have honoured] Caius Tiberius{ 
* * * * * * * * * * who hath restored the wall that had fallen 
to decay; who hath moreover repaired from the proceeds of the interest 
the portico of the Gerusia; and who hath undertaken 
5. to provide all things, together with the bathing apartment, 
and the other suitable decorations, from the funds 
which have been bequeathed to the city by his father : 
who hath also, during the most necessitous seasons of dearth, 
more frequently than any other citizen, 
10. regulated the prices of the market: who hath devoted 
to the public service, in addition to the funds bequeathed by his father and mother 
for the restoration of the Gerusia, his own property also: 
who hath, in obedience to the Imperial Mandate, 
and through his own munificence, prevailed upon 
15. the citizens to enter the military service, of their free will : 
who in all matters approves himself a benefactor of the city: 
and in consideration of his unsurpassed liberality of spirit in all transactions.

than it is now as to give us some insight into the name of the individual here honoured. From his

copy is, as usual, replete with oversights of transcription.
