Fragment of a unfinished garland sarcophagus. The marble is Proconnesian. The sarcophagus is broken on all sides. The inscription is on a tabula ansata 0.34 m wide inscribed within a circle ca. 0.44 m in diameter; below is an unfinished grape-cluster. The face of the tabula is somewhat smooth, the rest is roughly worked with a point. Dots and dashes separate words. The 7-shaped abbreviation designates centurio and at the end of line 6 is an ivy leaf.
