Commentary
Oliverio thought that the hole was intended for attachment and that the inscription ran on the upper surface of the base around the hole. The order of the segments makes it impossible, as well as the lack of any subject for the sentence.
C. Dobias-Lalou thinks that the stone was recut and hollowed for re-use. A hole was made on the previously inscribed side, l. 2 being fully lost, whereas, from the photograph, it is possible to catch a X from l. 3.
