Commentary
Applebaum wrongly associated this stone with C.15.
The text is clearly a duplicate of C.10 which stood above the South door of the building and recorded its reconstruction by Hadrian after the damage done in the Jewish revolt of CE 115. It is reasonable to suppose that this copy occupied the same position above the East door, to which C.7 belongs.
