notes: correspondence between C. D. Rauch and K. A. Böttiger (SMB-ZA, IV/NL Rauch, XI. 3a, Bl. 6 r) noted that casts were being prepared as early as January 1822, with this one sent to the RMO Leiden and another to the Königlichen Academie der Wissenschaften, home of the Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum (CIG). Without provenance, this votive dedication never found its way into Mommsen's Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL), although their archives do preserve a squeeze (“Hettner Seite 127 Nᵒ285, Stele”). For further details, see Ehmig (2024), who notes that the original was only recently rediscovered in SKD storerooms (2022). Some annotations in the Dresden archives suggest stylistic parallels with stelae from Sousse (Hadrumetum) and el-Kenissa (cf. Carton 1906).
