Description

Five fragments of an uncertain number of panels of wall revetment of white marble. The inscription is in one line.

Dimensions
Preserved H. 0.30, preserved W. 0.68, H. of letters 0.045.
Comments

“The sequence of the first three fragments is uncertain” (Kroll). As the first letter of the first fragment is an ι, Ameling’s proposal of [κα]τ᾿ εὐχά[ς?] seems to be excluded.
