This inscription is in two fragments, with a missing intervening section assumed to have comprised a third or more of the original stone. Dimensions refer to the remainders of both stones: length, depth, and letter height are identical; the width differs between left fragment (40 cm) and right (44 cm). Rosettes in relief decorate each end of the original stone (one on each fragment); an incised simple cross stands at the inscription's begininng. The name Μαρέας is attested.
