Architrave of local bluish-white marble; broken on the left. There are moldings above and clamp traces at the top, and anathyrosis on the right face shows that another block followed. The very carefully incised inscription is on the fascia.
- Dimensions
- H. 0.30, W. 0.94, Th. 0.63, H. of letters 0.11.
- Comments
The first preserved letter could also be a Γ̣. It seems that after E a vacat followed ([εὐτυχεῖ]τ̣ε?) as the distance from the E to the right edge is longer than the one between the two letters.
