Notes
The base of the monument is an inscribed tablet with tab-ends and brackets between two sarcophagal strigilated ends. Surmounting the tablet, a Doric aedicule frames an urn and is backed with a pedimented slab. The plan shows how the urn's pedestal projects further than the flanking columns.
In this drawing, the pediment has a plain frieze and acanthus antefixes, with pencil alterations suggesting a motif in the tympanum.
