Description

  • Monument: Four white marble fragments from the same feature, of which two join, to form c. The original feature was a slightly convex white marble block (H. 0.145, D. 0.40), and decorated with relief patterns on the underside; the block was therefore designed to be seen from below, and perhaps served a purpose similar to that of 99. Length: a: c. 0.50. b: 0.53. c: two joining fragments. 0.65.
  • Text: Inscribed in one line on the outer edge, which has a slight slope upwards.
  • Letters: c. 0.08, are very ornate, with accents and breathings; in c, ΜΝ and ΤΩ are in ligature, and the first Ω and last Ν are above the line; star-shaped stop.
  • Date: Twelfth century (lettering).
