and most of them are well formed.
Above the letters NE there is a groove on the stone which may be the bottom
of a small incised circle, about 15 cm. in diameter.

The whole stone measures 1.33 by 0.52m.: it is broken at both ends. Near the center
of the present block is a disk,

relief below the surface, contain-

The inscription is incised
on the plain surface, along the
top of the face, and is broken
by the disk: the first part is
64, the second 25 cm. long.
The letters are 7 to 8 cm. high.

Below the inscription, on either
side of the disk, is a plate, sunk in the surface, containing in relief a grape-vine and
peacocks.

822. Lintel, 546—7 a.d. On a large lintel in situ in a wall of handsome
basalt masonry, now used as the rear wall of a modern dwelling. I could not
discover the character of the original building: Mr. Butler is of the opinion that it was
not a church. See Div. II, Ill. 5. This doorway faced northward: the central portion
of the lintel has' been broken away completely, and the doorway itself blocked up.
The lintel was originally 3.46 m. long and 86 cm. high: the two ends, remaining above
the jambs, now measure about a meter and a quarter in length. No portion of the
center of the stone was found, unless the fragment published below, under No. 822 «,
belongs to this lintel. In the center of each of the end-pieces is a disk containing a
cross, 48 cm. in diameter, and executed in simple incised lines. Probably there was
also a disk in the center of the lintel. The inscription also is incised on the plain
face of the stone, above the disks: it is in three lines, unequal in length. The first
part of the first line, exclusive of the cross at the beginning, measures 85V2 cm. in
length, the break in this line i261/3cm., the second part 89 cm.: the line ends 16 cm.

the lintel: the first part measures 89cm. in length, the break in this line 92cm., the
second part 121 cm.: the line ends 11 cm. from the right end of the lintel. The first
