3: Another line containing the titles of Severus Alexander, following line 3. Degrassi A., 1954; : on the surviving fragment of line 3 there are traces of a line below, quite illegible. Degrassi may be right in his explanation
of these; or they may be part of the missing words of line 4. Reynolds, 1955
5: ciuitatis patronae Degrassi A., 1954; : the stone was re-examined: the letter before PATRO is unlikely to be S, which should have left traces of its lower curve,
but may be C. Reynolds, 1955
