Main Translation

Translation ... who in no way deserved to be blamed, but deserved to be loved. Leader and companion, he stands with the king’s army. May his fame live in the memory through the ages. Buried on the 7th day before the ides of August, under the 10th and 3rd consulates respectively of Constantius Augustus and Julian Caesar.
