III. Inscriptions 1

are henceforth cited respectively as RIB I (1-2400) and III (3001-3550). Citation is by item and not page number. Inscriptions on PERSONAL BELONGINGS and the like (instrumentum domesticum) have been arranged alphabetically by site under their counties. For each site they have been ordered as in RIB I, pp. xiii-xiv. The items of instrumentum domesticum published in the eight fascicules of RIB II (Gloucester and Stroud, 1990-95), edited by S.S. Frere and R.S.O. Tomlin, are cited by fascicule, by the number of their category (RIB 2401-2505) and by their sub-number within it (e.g. RIB II.2, 2415. 53). When measurements are quoted, the width precedes the height. 2 In the excavations of those years, since the provenance is noted as 'black surface soil between Sections 44 and 46', sections which are first mentioned in J.P. Bushe-Fox, Richborough III. The fragment (AM Lab Ref. No. 78303101) was found in the English Heritage store at Stone Hut, Dover Castle, by Roly Cobbett, who sent photographs and other details. Many small fragments of marble slab with lettering have been found at Richborough (RIB 46-65), but their relationship to each other and this new fragment (No. 1) is unclear.
