Bibliography: Bagnall, R. S. et al., Graffiti from the Basilica in the Agora of Smyrna (2016): 269.
Commentary: Damaged and discolored dipinto, located in the lower register of the back wall of Bay 27, toward the middle. The poor preservation prevents a certain interpretation of the image. At present the image seems to represent the jamb and two lintels of a doorway, all three elements being decorated with a lattice motif.
