11. Dedication by Flavius Zeno

Monument: A white marble columnar statue base shaft (H. 1.67, diam. 0.48) with a moulded upper rim; the stone is badly weathered, and partly broken away above.
Text: Inscribed very lightly on the upper part of the column.
Letters: Elongated; av. 0.05, phi 0.06; standard sigma and omega; the style appears appropriate to the late third or early fourth century. Boulanger apparently saw traces of red in the letters, but none remains.
Date: Fourth century (lettering, content).

With Good Fortune. Fl(avius) Zeno [high priest and] ?comes, made (this) and set it up for his homeland.

l.2: The first three erased letters remain legible; the rest can safely be resored by comparison with text 12.
