Translation

Flavius Honorius, of divine descent, most dear to God, the most renowned. Flavius Eutolmius Tatianus, the clarissimus, prefect of the sacred praetorium, dedicated (this statue) with the customary devotion, in the time of Antonius Priscus, clarissimus praeses.

Apparatus

In ll.5 and 6 Reinach read nothing; Robert read in l.5, Φλ Εὐτόλμιος Τατια[...]. The restoration here is based on very unclear readings.
