- Incomplete slab with the nearly complete lower margin, large fragment of right one and a small fragment of left one preserved; upper part broken off. The front surface severely worn and barely legible, especially in middle and lower parts. The epigraphic field contained in a shallow recess; wide lower margin slightly elevated and left uninscribed, serving most probably for mounting the slab into the tomb superstructure. The letters were painted black.
