 | | Though badly damaged by the fire that revealed it, the inscription can be identified as a 'Stadiasmus Provinciae Lyciae', erected by the first governor of Lycia, Quintus Veranius (in office, AD 43/44-47/48), by order of the Emperor Claudius. |
 | | On the narrow side of the monument, facing all who approached, was a dedication from the Lycians to Claudius through the offices of governor Veranius. |
 | | At the top of the long left (west) side Claudius, again via Veranius, was credited for building the roads mentioned in the inscription. |
