- Commentary
- M 64 65 and 66 can be identified LP 934 933 and 932 with more by the lay-out and mutual proximity of the latter than the texts. The published versions of these inscriptions show how inaccurate some of the copies made by Littmann's companions could be. The lower edge of the face laminated at a period before the inscriptions were carved and the final letters of all three texts are written in this more lightly patinated area. The last three letters of M 64 are very faint but just visible on the slide. Associated drawing to be numbered.
