At the start of line 1, a vertical stroke is visible at the very edge of the surviving face. The stroke is too close to the O to be the central vertical of a T, and is more likely to be an I or the right-hand vertical of N. With so little of the inscription surviving, restoration is very difficult; in line 2, we presumably have the genitive [- -provin]ciae. The lettering is an extremely fine monumental script, with unusually wide interlinear spaces; there appears to be nothing inscribed above the first line.
