Notes
Lower half of stone tapers; width listed here is at top. The first ω on line 3 is superscript. One of many such stones found in the area, which were erected, for taxation purposes, during the survey and registration of lands under Diocletian's rule. The augusti and caesars mentioned in the group date them. They seem to have been erected at close intervals, with some containing complete information, and others (like this one) containing abridged versions. Inscription is identical to that of another stone (see inscription ulat0014), but both place names are unidentifiable. Capital letter omegas on the stone are written as large lowercase omegas.
