Description of Monument

Sherard described these texts as on two funerary altars; Boeckh thought this unlikely. 'Upon a pedestal' Fellows, so probably statue bases.

Description of Text

Inscribed on the face. Sherard's description may imply that there was an upper moulding, in which case the texts are probably complete.
