## Commentary

The inscription apparently functioned as indicator of orientation of the
face of the element on which it is inscribed. See also the analogous
labels C. 248, C. 249 and C. 250, and on the compostion of the pedestal
see Parmentier 1904, who did not, however, mention the presence of such
label inscriptions.

## Bibliography

The inscription is edited here by Arlo Griffiths, based on EFEO
estampage n. 2084.
