While seeking in my mind for appropriate divinities I have finally thought of the name and power of a never-failing goddess to whom to dedicate this place; and so it is of Health that, insofar as I could, I have sanctified the name for as long as there are worshippers here; to all I have given the true waters of Health in these fiery temperatures, so that, in the midst of the hills of sand, they may ease their bodies from the burning flames of the southern sun by swimming in tranquillity. So do not be slow, you who feel the great attraction of what I have done, to speak in praise of one who worked for your health, but testify for the sake of Health. | ||

While acting in command of all the soldiers in this fort, I have much sought what to hand down to memory, in order to declare to earlier and to future readers the vow which was common to all and made for the safe return of the army. While seeking in my mind for appropriate divinities I have finally thought of the name and power of a never-failing goddess to whom to dedicate this place; and so it is of Health that, insofar as I could, I have sanctified the name for as long as there are worshippers here; to all I have given the true waters of Health in these fiery temperatures, so that, in the midst of the hills of sand, they may ease their bodies from the burning flames of the southern sun by swimming in tranquillity. So do not be slow, you who feel the great attraction of what I have done, to speak in praise of one who worked for your health, but testify for the sake of Health.
