- Description
- Roughly rectangular slab, complete, apart from the lower left corner, which was chipped off, and some minor damage along the right edge. The letters in the right part of the first line are obliterated. The epigraphic field is framed by an incised line, leaving very narrow outer margins. The text ruled with incised lines; the registers are even and regular, but rising slightly upwards towards the bottom of the stone.
