Description
Two parallel benches, 45 and 47.5m in length, set out in a north-south direction at a distance of 10m separation. The more easterly bench is designated 'B' by the excavators; the more westerly, 'A'. Each bench is subdivided into two sections, with a seat divider / arm-rest at the end of each section. The inscription is set out over all four sections, beginning at the northern end of Bench B (line 1), proceeding to the southern end of B (line 2), and then continuing on the southern part of Bench A (line 3), and on to the northern section of Bench A (line 4).
