The inscription (shown here) is fragmentary but is thought originally to have read: “To the honorable gods (this) Tiberieum Pontius Pilate, Prefect of Judaea, had dedicated. ”
Kata - kata yang terbaca (lihat gambar) hanya sebagian, tetapi lengkapnya diperkirakan berbunyi, ” Pontius Pilatus, Penguasa Daerah Yudea, membaktikan Tiberieum (ini) kepada para dewa yang terhormat. ”
