We have published our copy of this inscription for the purpose of showing how
it agrees with Ewing’s in substantiating the correctness of Wetzstein’s readings as
ο ο o o
against Waddington’s. The mason who cut the letters seems to have been quite
ignorant of Greek.
Οό'αραυνις does not seem to be found elsewhere, but it is merely the lengthened
form of the well established name zUdhar. On Γορεπος, Βασσος, and Ουαβ^λος see nos.

The construction of this inn is also commemorated in Wad. 2462, dated έτους

the date of the beginning of the year see Waddington’s commentary.
