Mohamed and Reynolds described the block as «probably an altar». However, the oval depression does not seem to allow this interpretation. One might better think of a basis supporting a circular basin.

The few letters surviving at line 1 can be clearly read from autopsy and squeeze, but for the first one, of which only the lower part of the hasta survives. Feminine names ending with τρα do exist, namely Cleopatra and others, but how could such a name be combined with a masculine name also at the nominative, especially on such an object? A more coherent reading might be the accusative -λωτῆρα, 'basin', for which see at IGCyr120300. However it would be necessary to check again the fragments to push this suggestion ahead.
