Description: Two joining pieces of a nearly complete slab; only a narrow strip is missing on the right, containing roughly three letters. The slab becomes narrower towards the bottom. The lowermost part of the slab is slightly higher than the main epigraphic field.

The main epigraphic field framed by an incised line, leaving a narrow outer margin.
