Notes on support and decorationsAccording to Robin, part of the decoration of a bucranium can be seen above the first two letters of the inscription. However, this cannot be confirmed by the autoptic reading of the photograph.
The original presence of a symbol before the beginning of the text may be supposed on the basis of the space between the restored first word divider and the edge of the stela.
