Apparatus criticus

  • Text after Ferrua, but corrected against image;
  • 4: Ferrua hypothesises the K for Kalends, but it is in fact visible on the stone; the two letters visible towards the end of the line are transcribed as variations on ΠΧ by Orsi in the inventory and Ferrua, but can more easily be read as ΙΧ with supraline
