"Found fragmented in several pieces among the debris of one of the twin churches excavated on the plain by the Urman-Sherewsky expedition." (Figueras)
Fragments of a plain rectangular white-grey marble slab (78 x 100 x 3-5 cm), curved on the two sides of the framework. Letters 3.5 cm high. According to Figueras, "This slab cannot be a chancel screen, but rather the platform upon which a four-leg stone altar was standing, as is obvious by the small squares (c. 15 x 15 cm each) left unpolished near the two preserved corners. A small hole in the center of each square was destined to hold the iron pin that fastened the base of the colonnette to the platform."

Commemorative (?) dedicatory inscription mentioning the bishop Victor, on fragments of a white-grey marble slab.
Gadimos may be the stonecutter, rather than an important villager, pace Figueras.
