we owe to Mr. Prentice. The word is probably to be read in an inscription from
Rai'fa, B.C.H. xxi (1897), p. 54, no. 54^, where Fossey restored προτ[ίκτωρ] [κ]ώρ.(ης).
The last line may well have been an addition of later date. We are inclined to
believe that the lintel was transferred from its original position on a church to its
present place.
39. Lintel. On a lintel in a house — most of which is ancient — on the south
side of the street which leads west from “Church No. 3”; cf. Div. II. A. 2, p. 92.
The house is not far from the church and has a cross over the entrance. The in-
scription is on the north side of the courtyard and east of the entrance. The lintel is
probably in situ. Length 1.56 m.·, height 26 cm. On the face are two sunken disks,
each containing a cross in relief. Height of letters 61/,— gf cm.
Dussaud and Macler, M.S.M. p. 286, no. 143.
Inscr. 39.
Inscr. 39. Scale 1 : 20.
Ιωάννας, Η &και.(?) Χρίστε βωύθι.
The intent of the inscription is probably apotropaic; cf. A.A.B.S. ill p. 20 ff.
Perhaps we should read Μα(ρ)(ία) καί Χρίστε in the middle of the inscription.
40. Lintel. On a lintel over a door leading to a modern stable in the southern
part of the town. The stable is near the small ruined chapel (Church No. 4, Div. II.
a. 2, p. 93) which adjoins the Temple-Mosque on the north. Length 1.52 m.; height
25 cm. The inscription is upside down. In the center of the face is an incised cross.
Height of letters, which are very shallow, ό1^—10 cm.
Inscr. 40. Scale I : 20.
(Μ)νισΘί' Γεωργίου [κ(ε)] Ιωάυου. Χ(ριστο)ς
νίκα. Χ(ριστο)ς βασιλ[εόει].
Let the memory of George and John be preserved. Christ conquers. Christ is king.
