Commentary

First published in CII 24. Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.

Pictures in Sulzer 1855: Tav. IX (drawing), Schneller 1866: Taf. II, Fig. 3, CII: tab. II (drawing = AIF I: Taf. II,36 A), Giovanelli 1876: Taf. II, No. 4 (drawing), Oberziner 1883b: tab. XX, IR: Tav. XXXVI c (photo) and LIR (drawing).

Hardly legible due to weathering. Autopsy was impeded by the fact that the slab is currently on exhibition, fixedly attatched to the ground with its back to a wall. The shapes reproduced in older drawings could to some extent be ascertained, including the unequalness of the scratches as seen on Mancini's photo – some deep and broad, some more fine and shallow and white in colour (see drawing). Though one may assume that the stone was in better condition when examined by the scholars of the 19th century, the relevance of the white lines is doubtful. Though the deeper scratches are hardly unintentional, no further traces can (in the present circumstances) be made out in their vicinity.
