- Fragment of the upper right-hand margin of a round-topped plaque. The epigraphic field framed by a raised border. The text is ruled with shallowly incised lines, forming the registers of ca. 4 cm in height. The surface above the first register uninscribed, but in the unpreserved part it probably housed the beginning of the text and perhaps some additional invocation (Alpha Omega, Jesus Christ, or the like).
