Description: Small white marble altar (w: 0.16 × h: 0.325 × d: 0.14) moulded above and below. The upper moulding has spaces on either side of reliefs, probably of breasts. Two olive branches are sculpted on the front.
Text: Inscribed on the face, enclosed by the olive branches.
Letters: Lightly scratched, lunate epsilon and sigma, cursive alpha; line 1, 0.01; lines 2-4, 0.007-8. Uneven in height and alignment. It presumably initiated a poorly written cursive document.
Date: Presumably before the Edict of Caracalla; but cf. lettering of 8.904 which refers to a M. Aurelius. (lettering, nomenclature)
Findspot: Aphrodisias: City, Village: Stray find
Original location: Unknown
