English, translated from the French record

Small limestone incense-burner altar with horns, incomplete: the hearth is missing and one foot is broken; L. 7.8, H. 4.8, l. 6.9 cm. It is similar to SAL_2510, but the workmanship is less careful, the incisions decorating the shaft barely marked, with numerous chisel marks underneath; found in the area south of the Rampart, square K VI/β3, where the lamps uncovered are of type XIV (1st-3rd century AD), Sal. 3342 and 3343. Inventory Po_0246; 26 August 1968.
