We know of no other instance of the name Α^αστ?, and the Arabic original is
uncertain. For compounds similar to ΑυΘαλλας see Αυσαλλας, no. 67 ; Θαι/Χαλλας, no. 318;
Ζεδ'αλας, no. 463. Nabataean forms of the name are also found; see Div. IV. Nab.
Inscrs. no. 99.
505. Stele. Standing with base embedded in the ground at the right of no. 504.
Height above the ground 55 cm.; width 23 cm. The face is fairly well finished. Height
of inscription 44 cm. The letters are shallow. Height of letters 6-8 cm.
Γι .η Γαρ(α)σου ε’τ(ώυ) ς-C
The letters of the first name are very indistinct, and we are in doubt as to the
proper reading. We have thought of Γι[ζ;]η, the feminine of Πηος, Arabic Ghiyai, which
occurs in no. 61. However, perhaps the top of the stele has been broken off, and
the letters should be read, -rt[v]·/?, the suffix of some Latin name. On Γεφασος, Arabic
Garas, see no. 501.
506. Stele. Standing with base embedded in the ground at the left of the
entrance of the tomb. Height above the ground 67 cm.; width 24 cm. The face is
half finished. Height of letters 7-11 cm.
Ηρακλας Γοδεαου ετώ(ν) p/.
i. e. Herakles, {son) of Gudaiy.
iWtztog, a name which seems to be new in Greek inscriptions, occurs also in nos.
507, 509, and 513.
507. Stele. Standing with base embedded in the ground in front of no. 506.
Height above the ground 74 cm.; width 25-29 cm. The face is half finished. The
letters are deeply cut. Height of letters 51/3-71/3 cm.
