Physical description
Support
- Description
- Three fragments of small, yellow/white marble plaque. Bivona's photo and edition records the plaque as being in two pieces, with missing text to the right and bottom. Since then, the plaque has been broken into three pieces, with two fragments now missing (a sizeable part of the 'D' in line 1 is now missing, as is most of the 'S' and the interpunct in line 3). Green discolouration due to application of modern inventory numbers. Rear is flat, face is polished. Top edge tapers upwards towards centre.

commentary
It is possible that we might restore Prim[igen]ius in lines 2-3, followed by the dedicatee's age in years (vixit), but it is impossible to know given the condition of the plaque.
