About the source:

Origin: Grenoble (Gaul)

This inscription, of unknown origin, and most probably from Grenoble or its close vicinity, was conserved in 1929 and placed in the Musée Dauphinois. It was photographed there by E. Chatel in 1968. The stone is now nowhere to be found; the editors of RICG used Chatel`s photograph as the basis of their edition.

Dimensions: 72 cm × 42 cm × 15 cm, the inscription covers 34 cm, with letters of more-or-less 3 cm in height.
