Description of Monument
A white marblestatue base shaft (0.42 × 1.77 × 0.46) which is broken below and at the top
left-hand corner. The inscribed face was turned inwards when the stone
was re-used, and has been revealed only by the collapse of the
adjoining wall; only the upper part is visible, to about 0.70 from the
upper edge.
Description of Text
Inscribed on the face.
Description of Letters
Based on the standard square script of the second and third
centuries, but with some new features; Ν
and Η each have a decorative crossbar
(Ν throughout, Η in l. 5 but not in l. 1); omega is in an
unusual form; and there is a square sigma in line 5. The
lettering of the last two lines is less correct. The interlinear
space, 0.015 between
lines 1-3, increases to 0.04-0.05 between lines 3-5, giving an
inelegant overall appearance; a possible explanation is that the mason
initially omitted l. 2, and then inserted it.
