The inscription no longer exists. It is cited by several Spanish modern historians (for references see Hubner 1871, no. 69). The text of the inscription edited by Vives is closest to the copy of the inscription in the manuscript of Gonzalo Argote de Molina (1548–96), while Hubner retains the version of Ambrosio de Morales (1513–91).
