  • Text of Gualtherus (who did not see it)

Physical description

Support

Description
Described by Gualtherus as 'in porphyrite'; Bivona infers reasonably that it was a funerary plaque. No further information is preserved. The use of porpyhry seems highly unlikely, and it seems more likely that this is an instance of the north Sicilian polishable red breccia.
