- Description
- Upper part of a round-topped slab with almost complete upper margin, large part of the right one, and a small fragment of the left one. The whole bottom part is missing and both upper corners were chipped off. The epigraphic field framed by an incised line, leaving margins of ca. 3 cm on the sides and 4.5 cm on the top. In the centre of the upper margin, probably the acclamation ‘Alpha – Omega’ is incised. The text is ruled with incised lines, forming the registers ca. 1.5–2.5 cm in height. The surface is defaced in lower left-hand and central parts; where preserved, it is worn off, which seriously hinders the reading.
- Decorative elements

- State of preservation
