368. Stele. Found in the wall of a house situated west of the so-called “Prae-

Θβφσι, φίλος. Ιθαης Ζοαβειάου.
Be of good cheer, beloved. Yitha (?), {son) of Zobaid.
Perhaps the first name is to be read Ήθαης after the analogy of the feminine
Ήθιαθη in no. 522. It seems to be an attempt to write the name of the God , and
is perhaps an abbreviated form of a theophoric name like Taim-yitha ; see Div. IV.

Εννος Ηνειας ετ{ών) λς-ζ.

The name is spelled as in this inscription in I.G. vii 3089.
