commentary
As Korhonen 2017 lucidly details, the inscription is one of a series of late 18th century local antiquarian forgeries, constructed on the basis of existing texts, principally those to be found in the 1769 first edition of the corpus of Torremuzza. Kaibel classed the entire series already as forgeries in IG XIV and provides the only modern corpus edition of this text. Korhonen 2017: 199 elucidates this, the only Latin text among them, as being derived from Jan Gruter's corpus (the 1707 posthumous second edition), specifically p.227 no.4 = CIL XIII.566 from Bordeaux, with the same 'Augusto sacrum et genio civitatis' construction.
