Description
The stele of Santa Perpètuad de la Mogoda is sculpted in sandstone and preserves seven lines of writing in Iberian characters. Partially damaged at the top, it says: -] Stanese [- / Intan / ebanem.au / ŕuninkika / oŕtiense / ikika.siba / Nitin. On the back, in the centere, a square hole with a socket at the top is interpreted as a possible cavity for relics. It therefore might have been used as an altar table in the Early Middle Ages.
