Provenance

Place of origin
Thermae Himeraeae
Provenance found
Observed by Gualtherus 'in scamno prope ianuam', in a sequence of texts preserved in the Roman baths, and so presumably (reused?) as part of a bench by the door to the baths. It has not been seen since.

Current location

Lost.

Date

Imperial (AD 1 – AD 300)
Evidence
No data

Text type

funerary

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.
