Description 9 lines of inscription across five faces of the 16-sided section of the pillar. Only the end of each line is extant, on most of the fourth and all of the fifth face, which are on the shorter middle fragment of the pillar. The beginning of the first line is also preserved on the longer middle fragment of the pillar, though not shown in Fleet's rubbing: all of the first face and some vestiges of the second face remain for this line. The stone of the pillar is split off below this line and to the left of the preserved end-of-line portion. The extant parts of this duplicate copy are in some respects better preserved than IN00094. Dimensions above are for the contiguous area extant at the ends of lines.
Decoration None.

Misc notes

IN00094 is identical in content. IN00097 was engraved by the same artisan, IN00098 was composed by the same poet and engraved in a very similar hand, possibly by the same artisan.
