commentary
As Bivona notes, Mommsen in CIL chose to unify this piece with a fragment preserved in the Palermo museum and first recorded by Torremuzza, separately from this one, and which he placed in the courtyard of the Palazzo Senatorio. There seems no obvious reason to conflate them. The report in Fazello is clearly not necessarily a full transcription, but rather a note of the existence of the piece in what is a description of the church in question. The description in Torremuzza, noting the grandness of the letters and the high quality of the piece of stone (probably marble), strongly implies that he saw the stone.
