Gaius Antonius and Bassus, for their father Titus, and Secunda and Kleopatra and Prima, his daughters, in memoriam.

The deceased Titus named his daughters Prima, Secunda and Kleopatra, presumably in that order: on Roman numeral praenomina, see Kajava 1994: 122-3. For the incised crescent at the end of the inscription, cf. MAMA XI 374 (1957/70: Aşıran Yaylası [Ekinözü]); MAMA XI 354 (1956/188: Savatra).
