To Quintus Novius Felix, son of Quintus, of the Sergia tribe, patron of the city of Antinum. The worshippers clothmen and dendrophori have set up this altar publicly in his honour, well-deserving.
Notes on the source Alternative proposed reading CIL: aram / [et s]tatuam honor(is).
But the reading of ll. 5-7 is very unclear and doubtfull (see comments Liu 2009: 344-345, who suggests 'culto[re]s / [ca]ntores' as a possible alternative).
