Description: A white marble altar-stele with moulding above and below on three sides (w: 0.37 × h: 0.80 × d: 0.37). The relief, which is largely lost, is of a bestiarius standing, facing to his right; one arm can be made out, held behind his back. He confronts a creature, which is jumping up at him. Above the man's head is a triangular area in relief, from which all features have been lost. For a full description see Kontokosta (2008).
