Commentary

 
7 fragments, 5 of them are matching. Maybe the name was erased in 268-269, when Postumus was ruling this area. Van Berchem thinks that maybe one of the 2 not matching fragments could belong to another inscription, because of the different orientation of the stone veins. The only thing that can be read is part of a X and then a second line is erased.
