   Comments:

Thirteen fragments of three slabs of white marble. The epigraphic text records the names of the dedicators of one or two monuments, all of them members of the gens Cornelius (three men, two women, see RP I, COR 204 and the relevant entry n. 41). The monument attested is a macellum, but a piscarium is perhaps also mentioned.
