See Tibiletti Bruno 1979: 263 f., Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 168 f., no. 15b, De Giuli 1979: 245, 251, Morandi 2004; 565, no. 68. Morandi 2004: 565 dates the inscription to the first half of the 1st century BC, probably to match his dating of VB·24, but this seems too early; the Epigraphische Datenbank Heidelberg (HD001984) dates the document to the 1st century AD.
