. . . εα[Θ·/?] Σεο[υ·<]ρου |ε’τ]ών . .
There are several possible restorations for the first name, e.g. Μορεα^, nos. 294

face of the stone. Height of letters δ1^—10 cm.

The Arabic equivalent is Sawad. The name is also found in nos. 457, 481, 519,
and in the feminine Σεουαό'α in Wad. 2509. The form Σαουαο'ος occurs in Wad. 2236,
and is probably to be read in no. 522; and even the form Σαυοαό'ος is found in
no. 462.

occurs also in nos. 313 and 406, and in Wad. 2042 and 2047. The presence
of the name Σαίαό'ος in this inscription suggests that we emend ΕΑΙΑΔΒ, Fossey,
B.C.H. xxi (1897), p. 41, no. 8, to ΕΑΙΑΔθ[Ρ· We have found no other instance of
the name in Greek inscriptions.
