La statue du roi Ptolémée, Dieu Philomètôr, fils de Ptolémée et Cléopatre, Dieux Epiphanes, a été consacrée, par la cité.

The statue of king Ptolemy, God Philometor, son of Ptolemy and Cleopatra, Gods Epiphaneis was dedicatedby the city.

La statua del re Tolemeo, Dio Filometore, figlio di Tolemeo e Cleopatra, Dèi Epifani è stata dedicata dalla città.

There are at Ptolemais three similar bases for members of the Lagid family (IGCyr033700, IGCyr033800 and this one), which were re-used in a same Roman monument, that seems to lay upon the foundations of a Hellenistic monumental base to which they probably belonged, perhaps along with a fourth one, now lost. The Roman Square of the Cisterns may have been formerly either the gymnasium ([...], pp. 128, 130) or the agora ([...], p. 398).

This base was first thought to mention king Ptolemy VIII Physcon; [...] has shown that it was dedicated to Ptolemy VI Philometor, while IGCyr033800 honoured his younger brother Ptolemy VIII, associated as king with Ptolemy VI and their sister Cleopatra.
