NAEVOLEIA .  L  LIB  TYCHE  SIBI  ET
C. MVNATIO  FAVSTO  AVG  ET  PAGANO
CVI  DECVRIONES  CONSENSV  POPVLI

According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de) this reads

 

Naevoleia L(uci) lib(erta) Tyche sibi et

C(aio) Munatio Fausto Aug(ustali) et pagano

cui decuriones consensu populi

bisellium ob merita eius decreverunt

hoc monimentum Naevoleia Tyche libertis suis

libertabusq(ue) et C(ai) Munati Fausti viva fecit      [CIL X 1030]

 

Mau translated this as:

 

Naevoleia Tyche, freedwoman of Lucius Naevoleius, for herself and for Gaius Munatius Faustus, member of the Brotherhood of Augustus and suburban official, to whom on account of his distinguished services the city council, with the approval of the people, granted a seat of double width.

This monument Naevoleia Tyche built in her lifetime also for the freedmen and freedwomen of herself and of Gaius Munatius Faustus.
