commentary

Muratori's edition on three lines is condemned by Castelli, Principe di Torremuzza, and the latter's engraving forms the basis for the current edition. The inscription was transferred to the Museum of San Martino, but does not seem to have passed from there to the Palermo museum and is now lost.
