Commentary

First published in Lejeune 1951.

Images in Moschetti 1932: fig. 114 (photo = Sartori 1951: fig. 2 = Lejeune 1951: 210 = Pellegrini 1959: Tav. XLII, fig. 20), Lejeune 1951: 211 (drawing), Pellegrini 1952: 239 (drawing = Pellegrini 1959: 194), Pellegrini & Prosdocimi 1967: 398 and 399 (photos), Morandi 1999: fig. 3, 5, 8–10, 12 and 13 (photos) and 11 and 14 (drawings), LIR: 279 and 280 (drawings).

Written in five (preserved) lines, dextroverse, on the smoothed surface of a slab, covering its entire breadth. The lines appear to be incomplete in the beginning, the slab being broken on the left side. Morandi reckons, on the basis of his reading of the inscription on the reverse, that about half of the lines are missing. In addition to this, a layer of stone has broken off next to the breaking edge, further shortening the first two lines and damaging the first letters of the third. The preserved lines are neatly executed, running parallel with a consistent letter height of 4–4.5 cm and a distance of about 1–1.5 cm between them.
