This inscription was first published by C.F. Eilers and N.P. Milner, "Q. Mucius Scaevola and Oenoanda: a new Inscription" ( academia.edu ). They identified the person honoured as the young son of Q. Scaevola, who was Roman consul in 95 B.C. and governor of Asia just before or after that year. Strictly speaking, Oinoanda was outside Scaevola's province, but the the city would have wanted to gain the favour of such an influential man.
The people honoured Quintus Mucius, son of Quintus Mucius Scaevola the patron and benefactor of the city, with a golden statue, honorific crown and privileged seating at the festal games, on account of his virtue and his goodwill towards them.
