commentary
The origin of the stone is uncertain, found together with ISic002946, according to Orsi, in the garden of the former convent of the Cappuchins, in the late C19 AD; however both are apparently reported in earlier antiquarian texts (see Soraci 1958, and Manganaro 1963), and Manganaro speculates that both perhaps come originally from nearby Civita, thought possibly to be the site of ancient Aetna-Inessa.
