Justificación de la datación: In view of the paleography and the onomastic system, Stylow dated it to the end of the 2nd c. or beginning of the 3rd c. For the reasons mentioned above (type of moulding, metaphorical use of gemma), it is more likely to be 3rd c.

Comentario

Carmen preceded by a praescriptum in prose (ll. 1-3). The beginnings of three verses,
dactylic hexameters or distichs, are conserved. Line 3 mentions the origin of the deceased, after
which is preserved a <T> and the remains of a second letter that Stylow identifies as an <A>,
proposing, along with Haley, the Lusitanian populus, Ta[porus]. However, it seems almost
certain that it is an <H>, in which case it is possible to infer a Thrax or Thracius (cf. Stylow
II2/7,24 natione Thracie); the concept of natio is usually broader, cf. Cagnat 1890, 63. Its
fragmentary condition makes interpretation difficult. In l. 4, Gemma could have a metaphorical
sense, as is usual in Christian poets and inscriptions, cf. CLE 1560B,3 and 688,8 (449 AD). L. 5
must refer to the darkness of death (cf. CLE 2131,3 and 503,2).
