Apparatus criticus
- The text of IG reproduces that of Carini. Both are correct in their representation of the letters on the stone, but omit the interpunct and ligature in line 3, the ligature in line 4, the diaeresis in line 5, and the staurogram at the end of the text; all these features are recorded by Orsi.
