Two fragments of the same possible distance slab were found in 1868 at Arniebog (NS 766 775), about 34 yds S of the Antonine Wall. The slab, entire, measures 2'10" by 1'2 1/2", and is in the Hunterian Museum. It has no inscription, but bears the figure of a kneeling captive and a sea-deity. The motif on this stone is similar to that on the Hutcheson Hill slab (NS57SW 44), and this may also be a distance slab of the XX Legion (L J F Keppie 1975).
