Apparatus

Translation

To Victoria Augusta, Vibia Modesta, daughter of Gaius Vibius Libo, with her origin in Mauretania, with the honour of priestess repeated twice, sacerdos, put up the silver statue out of 122 pounds of silver with earrings with 3 lots of 10 pearls and 40 jewels and 8 Beryls and a gold crown with 25 jewels and...? With the place having been received from the most splendid ordo, in the temple she placed a golden priestly crown, a golden bust of Isis, another of Ceres with silver hands, and in addition, one of Juno.

Commentary

It is not clear which Mauretania is being referred to here, but this has been mapped to a representative point in Mauretania Caesariensis (Pl.285482).
