A deep column of fine porphyry is found
Inscriptions of the Capitol under the base:
Bones twisted hair the Roman strength tried,
The fleet is stirred at the harbor of Mitylene.
De fin porphire profond collon trouuée
Dessous la laze escripts capitolin:
Os poil retors Romain force prouuée,
Classe agiter au port de Methelin.
