| Description |
Six lines. The inscription is on a recessed arch, so the campus is rounded at the top. The first two lines (v1) are of roughly equal length and in small characters; the next two (v2) are longer and in larger characters; the last two (v3) are again longer and in larger characters. Prinsep and Cunningham both believed this to be two distinct inscriptions, with the first pair of lines separate from and earlier than the next two pairs.
