Shipley translation

11The Senate consecrated in honour of my return an altar to Fortuna Redux at the Porta Capena, near the temple of Honour and Virtue, on which it ordered the pontiffs and the Vestal virgins to perform a yearly sacrifice on the anniversary of the day on which I returned to the city from Syria, in the consulship of the consulship of Quintus Lucretius[*] and Marcus Vinucius, and named the day, after my cognomen, the Augustalia.
