In the consulship of our masters Constantine Augustus for the 5th time and Licinius the most illustrious Caesar for the 1st time, Choiak 5. I, Ision, wrote the whole.

The diatyposis was a tax assessment schedule, and the primipilus was a levy for supplying the army. Neither term has an exact English equivalent. The consuls named should be Licinius the younger (Caesar), consul for the first time.
