Description
Well-polished stele, chipped along the upper edge of the front face and the bottom-right corner. Before its final reuse, the stele has been used as a gravestone three times. It bears three distinct inscriptions with no connection to each other, whose relative chronology is impossible to establish. Two of them have been placed at the two ends of the front face, upside down in relation to one another, conventionally indicated with I (inscriptions a and b). The third inscription is on the opposite face, indicated with II. Here we present inscription b of face I. On same support as and .
