Commentary
Die Wendung longa incuria ac discissione spielt vielleicht auf die Unruhen im Zuge des Donatistenstreites an; so gebraucht Augustin, Serm. 46, 15, 39 discissio in Bezug auf die Donatistenspaltung. Reste von roter Farbe in den Buchstaben. Von der Tafel sind 13 Fragmente erhalten. Z.7: [---]o procons[---]: möglicherweise war der Proconsul im Ablativ angegeben.
