Description
- Monument:
Four joining fragments of a white marble panel with a
raised rim on all sides (1. 0.89, W. 0.65, 0. 0.16), inscribed on the
face with a board, type 3Rows.4, carefully cut on the central panel
(0.55 x 0.75; circles 0.04; central rosette in circle, 0.09). One side
is entirely preserved, and the two ends survive in part.
- Text:
Inscribed along one long side (a) and the short side to the
left of it (b). The other end was not inscribed.
- Letters:
The letters of the two texts are similar—irregular and rough. av. 0.03—but not identical, a appears to have been cut with a finer point, and has a simple Υ; b has Υ with a cross-bar.
- Date:
Late fifth century (prosopography)
