Probably part of an honorific inscription, but the incomplete nature of the surviving block does not allow for an exact restoration of the text. The presence of the name Clau[dius] at the end of line 3 gives an indication of the inscription 's date.

Roman theatre, Lepcis Magna, Libya. Bilingual inscription in Latin (at the top) and Punic (at the bottom). The Latin reads from left to right, the Punic from right to left. It records that the building of the theatre was paid for, and dedicated by a local richman called Annobal Rufus in AD 1-2.

English translation:
When the father of the fatherland, Caesar Augustus, son of the deified [Caesar], was pontifex maximus, vested with the tribunician power for the twenty-fourth time, being consul for the thirteenth time, Annobal Rufus, the adorner of his country and lover of concord, priest, suffete, prefect of the sacred objects, the son of Himilco Tapapius, took care to build this at his own expense, and dedicated it.
The Latin text begins with the names and titles of the emperor (in this case Augustus). None of these are given in the Punic text.
Part of an decree regulating sacrifices and offerings at a temple site. The name of the reigning emperor is lost but can be restored as Tiberius (r. A.D. 14-37), Gaius Caligula (r. A.D. 37-41), or Claudius (r. A.D. 41-54). The fragment also contains another Roman name, Quintus Sergius, and some scholars have tried to identify this man as the famous Roman governor of Cyprus, Sergius Paulus, who befriended St. Paul.

n 40, the emperor Caligula visited Fectio when he was travelling to Lugdunum. The remains of a wine barrel from his personal vinyard have been found. Some thirty years later, the fortress was destroyed during the Batavian revolt and rebuilt as base of a cavalry squadron. The river Rhine had already started to silt up, and was later to change its course. Pottery from the kilns of the Twenty-second legion Primigenia at Xanten belongs to this period.
