- Description
- A block of conglomerate, broken across the lower right corner. A rectangular field is inset into the face (H 26 cm x W 34), in which the inscription is set, the frame only roughly finished. The exact depth and form of the rear is uncertain, as when observed by Bivona the block was fixed to a wall with cement.
