4. 5 Parallelepiped pedestals, well preserved; only one is in an advanced state of erosion.

All the listed items are taken on consignment by the Royal Inspector to the Excavations
and Monuments, who, based on an agreement with the Forcellini Company and the public
authorities, guarantees the due surveillance.
This record has been read, approved, and signed in four copies by the participants.
Each original is handed to Mr. Deputy Prefect, to Eng. Forcellini Annibale, to the harbor
officer, and to the Royal Inspector to the Monuments.
