  BAŠKA TABLET
Later the tablet was placed on the floor, like a kind of tombstone and in 1851 it was first noticed and called attention to as an important monument of philology by Petar Dorèiæ, at that time a student of divinity from Krk.
The top part of the tablet has an edging in the form of vine tendrils, whilst the remaining space, just like on the somewhat younger Senj Tablet, is filled with a text (of about a hundred or so words carved in 13 lines!).
The tablet is still the ownership of the bishop of Krk (at the same time, the present abbot of St. Lucy), and in recent times there have been discussions regarding the eventual return of the tablet to its home ground.
