| Details | A stone slab engraved with an inscription, which starts on the front of the slab and continues onto the right side. The letters are incised between lines nearly two inches (5.08 cm) apart. The uninscribed portion of the slab contains a socket to fit into another stone, suggesting that, before it was utilised for the purpose of inscription, the slab served some architectural purpose. The first five lines of the inscription are badly preserved and a portion of the surface has been lost from the right side of the slab, obliterating about seven lines of writing. |
