Translation into English

To those who have been dedicated for sacrifices of the village of Thosbeus, by Aurelius Amoius, who is managing the mother of Taamoitus from the village of Thosbeus. Always sacrificing and pouring libations to the gods, I have continued, and now in your presence, according to the commands given, I have sacrificed and poured libations and tasted of the offerings together with my mother Taamoitis and my sister Taarpaisios; I request that this be noted for me. (In the year) of the Emperor Caesar Gaius Messius Quintus Traianus Decius the Pious, [of] Eutychus the August. Since I have given this account, Aurelius Amoius has written concerning me.
