Apparatus criticus
- Text of Mommsen in CIL ;
- Bivona states that interpunct only visible after Lucia in line 1, but Mommsen records them throughout on the basis of autopsy and it is apparent that they are faintly visible in the photograph but lacking in paint (which may be modern?)

- First recorded by Romano 1829, among those found subsequent to Torremuzza 1784; seen by Mommsen also.
Current location
Although photographed in the museum in the 20th century, Bivona could not find it and we have been unable to do so either in a systematic study of the depositi in 2022-2023.

- lettering
Text type
commentary
It seems highly likely that the stone is broken on the right and the deceased's second name is missing in line 1, and the verb 'est' in line 2 (which would then render the text approximately symmetrical).
