| Translation |
Caius Iulius Cocilius Hermes, son of Caius, patron and life-long president of the guild of dendrophori of Ostia, has given as a gift a statue of the Great Mother in silver (weighing) three pounds and a half and the sum of six thousand sesterces, so that on the sixth day before the kalends of June (26 May), his birthday, from the 180 denarii interest from this sum, they should dine and reclining divide the handouts. If this (obligation) shall not be observed then I want the sum written above to be given to the honorati of the guild of carpenters/builders of Ostia under the condition written above. Cocilius has stipulated (these terms), the members (of the guild of dendrophori) have accepted them. Set up on the Ides of January, under the consulship of Maximus and Glabrio, for which dedication he has given to the decuriones (of the guild) two denarii handouts.

Van Haeperen, 'Ostia. Aire sacrée de Mater Magna (IV, 1)', in Van Haeperen 2019, https://books.openedition.org/cdf/6969
* Previous editors resolve the final clause OB CVIVS D D DEDIT ISPOR as ob cuius dedicationum decurionibus dedit etc. Given the context, however, dendrophoris dedit is preferable.
The inscription is set on a marble pedestal (59 x 35 x 28) upon which presumably the statue of Mater Magna was placed.
