Notes
Lower left corner of a white marble plaque. The back is rough, and the extreme corner is broken off. The beginnings of the last two lines of an inscription, probably an epitaph, survive. Letters are irregular. The ligature is most common in the Late Antique period, and the evident mention of a son and at least two names mark this as a tombstone.
