- Description
- Lower part of a stela with complete bottom margin and the lowermost fragments of both side margins preserved. The epigraphic field framed by an incised line. The text ruled with nicely executed incised lines, forming registers of apparently even height, apart from the lowermost one, twice smaller than the other ones. Due to the bad planning of the inscription on the stone, the ending of the text is written outside the epigraphic field, beyond the borderline at the end of line 3 and in the lower right corner of the stela.
