Physical description

- Description
- Part of a marble stele (or plaque), intact on left and right, but broken above and below (although as Ferrua notes, probably not much is lost below, one line at most). Mouldings are preserved on left and right. Bitto suggests that the stone is an architectural piece in reuse already in antiquity for the inscription, but this is based upon the poor fitting of the text to the borders alone, which is not a sufficient argument.
