Apparatus criticus
- Text of ISegesta;
- a.1: As noted in I.Segesta, the second letter could alternatively be Γ
- β.1: As noted in I.Segesta, the first letter could alternatively be omega
- d.1: As noted in I.Segesta, the second letter seems unlikely to be an alpha in comparison to other fragments from the same area.
Physical description

- Description
- Fragments of trabeation with parts of the upper moulded cornice, with inscribed face below, most likely from the external frieze of the north side of the portico of the bouleuterion. There seems little reason to doubt from the form and style that these are all fragments of the same inscription. Fragment (a) is W 30 x H 19.5 x D 17 cm; (b) is W 28.5 x H 9 x D 10.5 cm; (c) is W 41 x H 24.5 x D31.5; (d) is W 30.5 x H 20.5 x D 22.5 cm; fragment (e), two joining fragments, W 40.25 x H 21 x D 11 cm.
