Commentary

Line 1: C(apitolino) or C(ohortali). In favour of the latter expansion speak three dedications to Jupiter Cohortalis from the same area (CIL III 13849; AE 2009, 1007 Seljane near Kolovrat; CIL III 8299 Pljevlja). As an epithet of Jupiter Cohortalis is attested mainly in Dalmatia; several attestations in Upper Moesia have been connected to immigrants from Dalmatia
