sacrique Vocabzilis, etc., p. 108. The term σύνΛκος seems to be used here in the sense

The names in 1. 3 were read as ’Αγοράς Αίανοΰ by Messrs. Wright and Souter. How-
ever, since it is not probable that the final letter of Λα' would be elided in an inscription
of this character and date, we are inclined to read here a name Γορας, perhaps repre-
senting an Arabic Gurah. It is necessary to read a genitive here, and so we would
propose the reading Γορα Σαιανου, regarding the patronymic as a lengthened form from
the common name Σοαος (S7zazc), analogous to ΑουίΛ>ς — ΑουίΛζ’Ζ/,ς, etc. For Αννηλος see
no. 53. Ζορεος does not seem to occur elsewhere.

The date was read by Messrs. Wright and Souter as w[F], i- e- 564 a. d., corres-
ponding to the 12th indiction. The third letter, however, according to both Mr.
Ewing’s copy and ours is clearly a Γ, and our reading r// is confirmed by the fact
that the 12th indiction began in September, 458 a. d. In 1. 1, Messrs. Wright and
Souter, read Λιόντιο[ς], and regarded it as a vocative. The genitive, however, is clearly
on the stone, and it has seemed to us better to treat it as such, and to read as above.
The church of St. Sergius at Dar Kita is similarly designated merely by the Saint’s-
name in the genitive; see A. A. E. S. hi 61. The characters after the words in
1. 2 seem to be marks of abbreviation, but perhaps they are to be read as | and H
respectively. Messrs Wright and Souter read τύμβος Εύτολμίου (ε)γραφ(7?), but our copy
shows that the name Χαβος is to be read, and it seems more reasonable to regard
the verb as an active form, probably present, of which this name is the subject. For
the name see no. 361. The name Βαραχιας is found in Josephus, A. I. ix, 12, 2, § 250*
and in Matth. xxm 35.
