851. Lintel, 569-70 a.d. On the ground in a modern courtyard, in the northern
part of the village, towards the tell. The stone is 1.40m. long and 52cm. wide: it
is broken at both ends and at the bottom, perhaps also at the top. In the center is
a disk, 48 cm. in diameter, containing a cross, and in the four qua¬
drants, a crescent, a small disk, an A and an LU. The letters of 0 Y E (disk) a Π id
the inscription are 8x/3 to 9 cm. high. Below the inscription, on each side of the disk,
is a vine ornament. Before the first word is what appears to be the end of the right
arm of a cross. The inscription, disk and other ornamentation are all in relief upon
a plain surface. Copy by Dr. Littmann.
This is perhaps the same inscription as that published by Dr. Lucas, Byz Zeitschr. xiv, p. 32, No. 28 b.
