- 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. It bears one line of text, the repetition of the monthly date, in a bigger script, but doubtlessly made by the same hand. The main epigraphic field framed by an incised line, leaving a narrow outer margin.
