Commentary

From Ghislanzoni's explanations (no photograph nor drawing) we gather that the stele was found near a sarcophagus and would have stood on top of its lid.

The stele is now localised by Thorn, who does approve the relation with one of the nearby sarcophagi.

Thorn also mentions another stele standing at the same place: IGCyr029350².
