In (the) administration of Shumais and Ruf ns and Julianus.
The inscription is complete, for the manner in-which the fragments fit together
shows that the full width is preserved; also the upper and lower edges of the block
seem to be unbroken. The inscription must therefore simply record the date, as in
no. 8031. The function described by οικονομία is evidently the same one that is alluded
to in nos. 8031 and 8033, and the inscription must come from the same temenos. The
form Σομισος does not seem to be found elsewhere; the Arabic form is a diminutive
of Shams ‘sun’, which is found as a name in no. 793*. Shamasai (Σαμασοαος) in no. 60
is also an hypocoristic form.
8035. Fragments. Built into the walls of the mosque. Frgs. A, c, d are in the
south wall, frg. b is in the east wall and upside down. Length of a 45 cm.; height
38 cm. Length of b 84 cm.; height 31 cm. Length of c 55 cm.; height 37 cm.;
width of uninscribed space at the right end ιό1^ cm. Frg. d was too far above the
ground to be measured. There are traces of red paint in the letters of B and d.
Height of letters, of a 19-20 cm., of B 15-20 cm., of c 19-21 cm. Copied by Magie.

Waddington’s sole comment is: “il n’y a rien a tirer de ces fragments, dont deux
sont en grec et les deux autres en latin”. Our copy, however, shows that, in spite of
the initial Δ, they are all in Latin, and that three, at any rate, form part of an honorary
inscription of Constantine. In the case of frg. d the lack of measurements unfortunately
