A white marble masonry block (0.87 × 0.34 × 0.35) built into the rim of the pool in the South Agora.

Cut on the upper, longer, face. It is unclear whether the text was cut in situ, or whether the stone has been re-used.

Shallow but wide (av. 0.09), ornately cut, with curled serifs. The second omicron seems to have been added as an afterthought, and is barely visible.
