Notes This is one of the two only (almost identical) inscriptions mentioning the 'fabri navales Portensium'. Tran (2006: 314-316) argues that they did not form an independent 'corpus' separate from the 'corpus fabrum navalium Ostiensium'. The office of 'tribunus' is no where else attested in connection with a 'collegium', so the office may have been a public office overseeing the shipwrights working in Portus. It is easy to see why the 'corpus fabrum navalium Ostiensium' would have elected such a person as patron.

Translation
To Publius Martius Philippus, of the Quirina tribe, curator of the Via Praenestina, former aedilis curulis, former quaestor ab aerario, tribunus of the shipwrights at Portus. The guild of shipwrights of Ostia, to whom permission to convene has been granted by senatorial decree, has set up (this monument) with its own money to its best patron.
Dedicated the third day before the Ides of April, during the consulship of Scapulus Tertullus and Tineius Clemens, under the care of Calocaerus, freedman (of the guild), and Caius Vettius Optatus and Marcus Clodius Minervalis, life-long quinquennales (of the guild).
