of the Greco-Roman Era in certain ancient Sites of Asia Minor. 35 
I have concluded it as most likely, from the occurrence of the title ATO- 
PANOMOS: in the original, that this statue had been placed in a conspicuous 
quarter of the Forum. The fourth and fifth lines, also, APXINEQIIOION 
TH GEOY A®POAEITHE possess an interest, from the position selected 
being in full view of the structure, over the erection or the embellishment of 
which the relative of Capitolinus had presided. 
The portal by which Aphrodisias was entered on the side of Antiocheia 
(apud Meandrum), or from the west, is rectangular, and different from the one 
on the east, which is arched. I have named the former the gate of Constantius, 
from the circumstance of its being surmounted with an inscribed tablet, bearmg 
what may be termed a precatory title, on behalf of Constantius, Jmperator and 
Augustus. 
The stone has unfortunately sustained a fracture from the top throughout, 
which has obliterated part of the inscription, and distorted the lines. ‘Thus, the 
fourth has been entirely mutilated towards the close; the fifth has suffered 
injury, partly, as is probable, from design, and partly from accident; the sixth is 
entire in every part, excepting the commencement, to which damage has been 
occasioned, evidently intentional on the part of the author; the seventh has 
escaped unharmed, but not so the concluding lines, namely the eighth and ninth, 
of each of which I could only decipher the one-half. 
The following may be received as a literal translation of this document.
