Physical description
Support
- Description
- Thick plaque of limestone, broken in two (joining fragments), intact at the top, but broken left, right and below. Rizzone suggests it may have been the cover of a sarcophagus, but it is hard to see how this could be proven.

Text type
commentary
The text of Cordano 2005 / 2014 is misleading (and the suggestion that the text is in a mixture of Greek and Latin is clearly incorrect), and the edition of Rizzone is to be preferred.
