| Description | Inscribed in two vertical lines, to be read from top to bottom, on two facets of the pillar. It is not clear from Altekar's description whether the two lines are aligned; he seems to imply that the inscription begins on one facet and continues on another owing to a defect in the stone on the first facet. Campus dimensions approximate. |
| Decoration | None. |
