Commentary
Images in Dell'Era 2018: 153, fig. 1 (photo) and fig. 2 (drawing).
Fragment of a mica schist stela found built into a wall of the Villa Elena in Dino during preparations for the building's renovation. It is possible, but not certain that it was originally unearthed at the site of the Villa during its construction in 1888. See the inscription page on the typological/palaeographical dating.
