Indiction 1, in the (jocjtli year. (597-8 a.d.)
859. Lintel. A stone found upon the ground close to some modern dwellings,
southwest of the tower and about the center of the village. Its total length is 2.10m.,
its height 84 cm. Near the right end is a disk, 55 cm. in diameter, containing
in relief below the surface a cross and the letters A and UJ: the outer rim of the
band which forms the disk is an incised line. The stone is complete at the left
end, and at the top and bottom: it is broken at the right end, 10 cm. beyond the
disk. The inscription is in relief in three bands: the first line is 1.07m. long, the
second 57, and the third 93 cm. The letters are 13 cm. high.

This text is doubtless based on Isaiah vi, 3 : ’Αγιος, άγιος, άγιος, Κύριος Σαβαω5,

860. Tower. Lintel of a tower, in situ, in the northeastern part of the town,
and facing north. The left half of the face of the lintel has been destroyed completely,
perhaps by fire; but the main body of the stone is intact: the right end of the face
is complete. The height of the lintel is about 85 cm. The inscription is in relief,
within a plate: the extant portion of the first line is 93cm. long, of the second 75,
of the fourth 63 cm. The letters are 7 to 8 cm. high. Probably there was a disk in
the center of the lintel below the second line of the inscription.
