Hiller states that he found the inscription «infra 536»; however, according to Inglese 2008 the stone is actually located to the left of inscription no. 540, to the right of no. 539, and below no. 537. It measures approximately 75 cm in maximum height, 65 cm in minimum height, and about 59 cm in length.
The graffito runs in a retrograde direction.
Letters of the archaic alphabet of Thera: Epsilon: vertical stroke protruding at the bottom, oblique bars. Ny: second and third bars shorter; third bar divergent. Pi: hook-shaped. Omicron: smaller than the other letters.

The graffito is retrograde. Hiller states that he saw it infra 536; in reality, the rock surface is located to the left of inscription no. 536, to the right of no. 539, at the bottom of the rock wall. It measures in height between a maximum of 75 cm and a minimum of 65 cm, and in length approximately 59 cm. The lower part of the rock surface is a carved ledge, beginning 15 cm below the epsilon, and 4 cm below the delta of line 2. The first six letters, as published by Hiller, are legible with some difficulty, and the surface is quite damaged. The graffito, after the rho, which is the top-leftmost letter, seems to rise toward the left edge of the rock face, with a rather curved ductus: the upper terminals and a portion of the oblique lower strokes of kappa, iota, lambda, and the closed eta can be seen; the final sigma is partly preserved, although in that point the rock surface is particularly chipped. Before the first letter, delta, traces of marks are visible, but it is unclear whether they are letters. The date given in LGPN (s.v.) is 7th–6th century BCE.
