Marble fragment from a larger inscription, with a simple raised border on the right and bottom edges, the Latin text in four registers reading:
T
AE. SVAE ET
SQUE. EORVM
PX
This text is too fragmentary for full translation, but a few words can be made out:
SVAE ET = suae et meaning “to/for his own (wife or daughter)
”SQUE = likely the enclitic -que attached to a preceding word, meaning “and.”
EORVM = eorum meaning “of them” or “their.”
