Description of Monument

White marble monumental block with wide flat mouldings, from which some moulding has been chipped away to facilitate reuse (a: 0.93 × 0.55 × 0.44) broken into five fragments, of which only one has been found again. The mouldings suggest that this could have served as a lintel over a doorway.

The text is cut on the broad upper moulding (ll. 1-7) and on a lower moulding (ll. 8-9).
