Physical description

Support

Description
Fragmentary stele, irregularly broken at the top and bottom. Meligunìs Lipára XII notes that the inscription is engraved in a lowered surface, probably due to the erasure of an older text, of which two letters remain on the left margin of the slab: a tau on a first line, a sigma on a second line.
