The inscription cut into the rock face and refers to the Roman citizen of Byllis, Marcus Lollianus, who served as a professional military officer to the Roman army. Further the inscription mentions that he built a road designated for wheeled traffic, from the colony of Bylliones through Astacia, through a way that was narrow, rough and dangerous, constructing also a bridge on the Argya River, by decree of the decuriones (councillors) and at his own expenses. The existence of the road or of the bridge mentioned in the inscription is not attested. The River Argias might be identified with the Povla creek or with the Gjanica River, while Astacia with Upper Mallakastra. The inscription is dated ca. 150AD.
