Description of Monument

Fragment (0.28 x 0.40 x 0.06) from a white marble garland sarcophagus, including the upper left corner of a centra moulded tabella

Description of Text

On the sarcophagus, within the tabella, from which it is probable that an earlier inscription has been erased.

Letters

Roughly and rather unevenly cut; lunate sigma.

Date

The inscription seems to be secondary, and could postdate the production of the sarcophagus, which Isik dates as third century, by many years; there is insufficient evidence for dating it, but it could be as late as the fourth century A.D.

The restorations printed here are from the standard formula stating the owner(s) of sarcophagi when these are persons of comparatively modest status.
