| Notes on the source |
The text is preserved only in a manuscript and is hard to interpret possibly because it was badly copied from a not very legible original (cf. Waltzing no. 2300; CIL 14, 4136). Presumably one or more lines preceded it containing the name of the honorand who was president, or praefectus or patronus of the collegium fabrum tignuariorum mentioned. Bisellarius refers to the right of a person to have a 'double seat' at public shows and is as such normally awarded by the city council. If we accept the reading collegii in the first line, it presumably refers here to a group within the larger collegium fabrum tignuariorum (cf. similarly the AE 1974, 123a for the title within the corpus negotiatorum fori vinarii, and compare CIL 5, 7618 for a magister Augustalis bisellarius). But given the problems in this text we could envisage it starting with colleg(iorum, in which case the bisellarii of Ostia would have been organised in their own collegium.
The dedicants (if the text can be accepted) were triumviri Portensium in urbe agentium (lit. 'the (commission of) three men of the (residents from) Portus acting in Rome'), but what that office entailed and wether is was an office within the guild of fabri tignuarii or a minor public office canont be made out (cf. Rohde 2012: 180, n. 560)
