Lucius Septimius, son of Gaius, of the tribe Scaptia, (from) Florentia, of the century of Gallus Titidius.
Lucius Orronius, son of Lucius, of the tribe Scaptia, (from) Florentia, of the century of Gallus Titidius.
Gaius Livileius, son of Gaius, of the tribe Palatina, of the century of Co[…]us Ofellius.
Gaius Atilius, son of Gaius, (of the tribe) Pollia, of the century of Tertius Ofellius.
Publius Ignatius, son of Publius, of the tribe Sergia, of the century of Silvanus.
Writing in Greek rather than Latin suggests the list was made for private rather than official military use. Florentia (Florence) is the home town of two soldiers, both enrolled in the Scaptia tribe; the men may be serving soldiers or veterans.
