Text type
commentary
Gualtherus presents the text as the preserved left margin with the second and third lines indented, and implying a space between EST and V in line 2. It would be possible to restore this as for a Ces[tius], with a form such as [hic situs] est v[ixit annos] XV..., for which there are parallels at Termini.
