Description

  • Monument: A block (0.58 × 0.73 × 0.25) pierced with five holes - the largest is in the centre, surrounded by four others arranged in a square. The holes do not impinge on the text, and could conceivably form part of the original monument, but it seems more probable that the stone was re-used. The surface is worn, especially at the lower left corner.
  • Text: The inscription runs along the edge, below the holes.
  • Letters: The letters are cut between guidelines; av. 0.02; scroll, following or above letter, for abbreviation.
  • Date:
