The piece was extracted by the archaeologist G.K Shamba from the foundation of a Hellenistic building of the 1st century BC in the ruines of Nyzhnyaya Eshera. The stone had been re-used. The inscription on it dates, I believe, from the 3rd-2nd century BC (see Table. XX, fig. 1-2).
The find is kept in the archaeology department of the Abkhazian YALI in the city of Akua (Sukhum).
The inscription fragment presents two lines of text fitting together, separated one from another by a horizontal line.
The inscription surface is 15.5 cm wide, and the remaining part of this surface is 12 cm high. In the inscription fragment there are 12 syllables, 9 of which appear with slight variations from the well-known ones.
New are the syllables " Ñ‹ " and " Ñ„ " repeated twice. The inscription has to be read right-to-left. What its function was is completely unknown.
