Commentary:

The association of c with the other fragments, originally made by Robert, appears very likely. It is very probable that these blocks come from the same building as 12.1006 (=MAMA 498) (which was also reused in the construction of the West gate) and come from one of the buildings constructed by Jason Prabreus and his wife, Julia Paula.
