Date

Ferrua restores as a consular date of 433, but from preliminary examination of the stone this looks unlikely. (AD 433 – AD 433)
Evidence
internal-date

Text type

funerary

commentary

Ferrua 1982-1983 speculates that the last line contains a consular dating formula (Theodosius and Petronius, 433 CE), but as he already acknowledged in 1938-1939, this is very difficult to extract from the available letters on the stone.
