From the comments below the article: The English translation of the inscription is as follows: “To the Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, son of the deified Traianus Parthicus, grandson of the deified Nerva, high priest, invested with tribunician power for the 14th time, consul for the third time, father of the country (dedicated by) the 10th legion Fretensis Antoniniana.”

Thanks dware. I've pinged a topic about this, but I didn't check to see if this was earlier or later, so I'm going to ping this one as well.
