Apparatus criticus
- Text of Magnanaro's 2005 reconstruction, making fragment (b) part of the left hand column, below fragment (a). The restorations are obviously highly speculative.
Physical description
Support
- Description
- Two non-joining fragments of a large marble plaque, perhaps c.80cm wide originally (so Manganaro). Both fragments are themselves broken in two and reconnected. Fragment (b) contains a single column of text, and is H 16 x W 10 x D 2 cm; Fragment (a) contains two columns of text, separated by a blank space, and measures H 23 x W 10 x D 2 cm. Manganaro notes the lettering to be similar and the dimensions compatible with belonging to a single large slab, perhaps from an honorific statue base.
