Commentary

The text was regarded by Reinach as part of a monumental dedication, but figures in MAMA as funerary (persumably on the assumption that it was used in the wall of a tomb). The lettering and layout favour Reinach's view, and the room in which it is re-used is more probably a side chamber of the gate than part of a tomb.

The man named is otherwise unknown at present.

Locations

Walls, South-east Gate: re-used in the north wall of the small vaulted chamber (? side-gate) at the the north side. Unknown Findspot
