Physical description
Support
- Description
- Described by Picone as fragment of a small marble funerary stone, 10 cm wide, of which the final line is clear. It is unclear exactly which parts of the stone are broken, but Kaibel implies that the left and upper parts of the text are broken, with the right margin preserved for lines 3-6.

Text type
commentary
Kaibel suggests this is an epigram, but it is unclear if Picone's reading supports this, since his reading of line 6 implies a small tablet. The palaeographic evidence of Picone/Kaibel suggests a later Roman date, rather than Hellenistic.
