Description

Rectangular block of pale yellow stone, border worn or cut away, around a smoothly finished face, on whihc a dense, lightly incised, somewhat cursive text is set out. The stone has been sawn off from the original rock to which it belonged. The left margin of the inscribed face is intact, damage to the top obliterates much of the first line; the right margin is intact to line 8, and thereafter increasingly cut away. The lower edge is missing, perhaps 1-2 lines lost.
