Oculist's stamp of green steatite. The primary texts, cut on adjacent edges of the stone, were mutilated when it was broken in Roman times; the stone was later smoothed down and a secondary text in rough lettering was cut on the edge opposite. The first two faces are marked with remedies of Lucius Iulius Ivenus, the other re-inscribed face with a remedy of Flavius Secundus.
