Apparatus criticus
- Text based on Orsi's drawing;
- 2: Ce[realis] or Ce[ler] or Ce[nsor]?
- 5: Upper half of the letters only: PRAESI seems clear; whether D, P or R follows is less clear; VC or VS follows; Orsi's drawing hints at extra space after the first I and before the second I, perhaps suggesting presence of an interpunct.
