In versibus metricis legitur:
SEMPER M(ARCUS) TERENTIUS EUDOXUS UNUS AMICUS
ET TENET ET TUTAT, SUSTENET OMNE MODU
v. 2: SUPSTENET (primum) hic, errore scriptum est; in hexametrum e pentametro irrepsisse Mau (1) coniecit.
v. 3: SUPSTENET pro SUSTENTAT scriptum esse Buecheler (5) contendit, aliter E pro I scripta est et SUSTINET legendum est (7)(10).
v. 3: OMNE MODU accusativum, sine littera -M scriptum, est pro adverbio positum (3).
Titulum constare disticho elegiaco iam Mau in CIL scheda (1) agnovit. Autem, ut ita sit, SUPSTENET in v. 2 delendum est; praeterea, nomen in v. 1 insertum metrum pessum dat, ideo Buecheler (5) archetypum cum molosso (— — —) nomen proprium constituente coniecit.
Titulus repertus in cubiculo quod est in peristylii latere sin. primum (1).
