Note the serpent is not so clear on the rubbing in DS6969, but is in the MMAG photo. So the figure, which is bearded, seems to be Asclepius. It is positioned in DS on pl. 34 before DS6970, which also seems to show Asclepius, suggesting that Dattari also made this identification. The figure to the l. might possibly be Elpis as she seems to hold up her hand (with a flower) and perhaps also raises her skirt. Keith Emmett (in litt.) suggests that the date might be L ΙΓ
