Lucius Pontius dedicated the burial to his mother Asconia Severina. The cognomen of Pontius, though fragmentary, seems to derive from a gentilicium, as in the case of Fabianus; the suffix in -anus suggests that he may have been an adopted individual.

The gentilicium Pontius is rarely attested in Concordia: the only other occurrence (Bertolini 1877, 33, nr. 29 = CIL V 8704 = EDR097864) shows close paleographic and decorative affinities (tabula ansata) with the specimen under examination. No other attestations of the name Asconius are known in the city.

Based on the presence of the tria nomina and paleographic analysis, Brusin and Zovatto date the inscription to the 2nd century AD (Brusin, Zovatto 1960, 34), a dating confirmed by Lettich himself (Lettich 1994, 254). However, it is unlikely that such a monumentalized inhumation burial, far from the city, would be so ancient. In all likelihood, the inscription should be dated to the first half of the 3rd century AD, or at least not before the end of the 2nd century AD.
