Current location
Lost? The piece was described by Manganaro 1989 as being in the Museo Civico Castel Ursino, but neither Korhonen not the EpiCUM project have located it there; some inscriptions in this group have since been located in the storage of the Catania Parco Archeologico in the ex-manifattura tabacchi, but not this one and we have so far been unable to locate it.
