Comment

Dating proposed by Bérard 1992a. Found next to CLEGall 46A = CLE 2511A (MPL02201) inscribed on a larger block of the same marble. Bérard 1992 a-b proposes that both blocks belonged to the same inscription, though this remains hypothetical. Both fragments have been included in the same entry by Cugusi (CLEGall 46 and CLE 2511).
