It is a grace stele, found built into a wall of one of the modern houses. The inscription is cut on a piece of ancient white marble, with a beveled edge on the right side and roughly tooled back. The top of the block is gabled and decorated with double spirals. Below the inscription is the figure of a bird pecking at a large leaf, and another leaf is carved at the end of the last line.
