Description: A white marble masonry block (w: 0.34 × h: 0.87 × d: 0.35) built into the rim of the pool in the South Agora.
Text: Inscribed on the upper, longer, face. It is unclear whether the text was cut in situ, or whether the stone has been re-used.
Letters: Shallow but wide (av. 0.09), ornately cut, with curled serifs. The second omicron seems to have been added as an afterthought, and is barely visible.
Date: Fifth/sixth century. (lettering)

Original location: Place of Palms/South Agora, Pool
