Dimensions above are for the entire panel. The latter part of the inscription is preserved for ca. 1.32 m. A space of ca. 37 cm between the first preserved word and the three others at the end of the line was filled in intentionally with white tesserae in antiquity. There is no indication of damage or repair; rather, this appears to be part of the design. It is assumed that the transcription opens with the fixed blessing formula and is followed by the name of the donor, which is not preserved. The identification of the first preserved word is doubtful. The most likely possibility is that this represents the name of the donor's father.
