Description: White marble block, chipped along all edges and also on the surface; there are dowel-holes for an attachment above.

Text: Inscribed on the face. This is the conclusion of a text which must have been laid out in several columns. The supplements are hardly in doubt. In 1. 5 the long vacat at the end is likely to have been balanced by another at the beginning and that seems to be confirmed by the little that survives of the surface there.

Letters: Perhaps late Republican/Augustan: 0.05.

Date: Late Republican/Augustan (lettering)

Findspot: Aphrodisias: Place of Palms/South Agora: near the east entrance to the agora in an area containing much re-used material.

Original location: Unknown

Last recorded location: Museum
