Description of Monument
A white marble columnar statue base shaft (H. approx 1.30, diam. 0.55), broken in two.
Description of Text
Inscribed on the face: the surface is chipped (as it already was in 1904) at the upper left corner of the inscription.
1.7. The cross, faintly cut on the base below the inscription, was first observed by the Roberts; it is not certainly associated with the text.
Translation
The Carians set up in their own metropolis the statue of the eternal Augusta, most dear to God, Aelia Flavia Flacilla, the mistress of the inhabited world.

History of Recording
Recorded by Gaudin (104) and noted by Boulanger (Notebook A, 43); the stone appears subsequently to have broken into two fragments, of which the lower was recorded by J. and L. Robert in 1946. Both fragments were recorded by the NYU expedition.
