English, translated from the French record

Roman moulded lamp with a plain medallion, Type 15 (cf. Sal. 256), from Campanopetra, square K V/δ10; B 23 (γ), in Salamis, Cyprus. The lamp is complete apart from a small hole in the nozzle, made of dark chamois clay, perhaps with a slip; the mould is very worn, the medallion is probably decorated, and the filling hole is off-centre towards the nozzle, outside the nozzle-handle axis. Diameter of the base 3.6 cm, height 3.5 cm, length 11.1 cm, diameter 9.2 cm; inventory L_0104; negative 01886_05; slides C_0347; 11 October 1965.
