188. Place inscription of Tryphon, chief decanus
Description
- Monument:
White marble column (diam. 0.67).
- Text:
The inscription is cut on the east face; the surface is
chipped and very worn.
- Letters:
ll. 1-4 are deeply cut, 0.03-0.05. Lines 5 ff. seem to be from a
separate text, cut lightly within a lightly incised tabella
ansata; they can just be made out, c. 0.02, but are almost completely
illegible.
- Date:
Fifth-sixth century or later (content, location)
