873. Stone, now a lintel, in a modern building, on the north side of a


courtyard, immediately north
of No. 872. It is i.O51/3m.
long, I51/Scm. broad. It is
broken at the right, and
perhaps also at the left. The
letters, 81/» cm. high, are in-
cised in deep, sharp, but not
very broad, lines on a plain
surface.

Inscr. 873.
And may he accomplish (his) undertaking.
The letters are clear ·, but the reading is uncertain.


874. Stone, now a roof beam, in a modern dwelling: one end rests upon a
column. It is 1.10m. long, and 22 cm. wide. The letters are incised. The inscription
begins 40 cm. from the left end of the stone.

875. Lintel (?). A broken lintel, partly buried in the ground in a courtyard
before a modern dwelling. No. 869 was found in the same courtyard. The inscription
is on a band along the top of the stone, 1.38 m. long and 7^ cm. wide. Below
the inscription is an egg and dart moulding, with crosses at intervals in the moulding.
The rest of the block was not excavated. The letters, 5 to f/s cm. high, are in relief.
The stone is apparently broken at both ends. Copy by Dr. Littmann.

Μαρως, Αβ[βωσου(?).

(There is) one God only, who helpeth the temperate. Maros, son of Abbosos(?) . . . .
The name Abbosos occurs also in Nos. 874 and 881. I believe τον μίτριον to be
a mistake for τω μετρΐω. This reading, however, is uncertain and unsatisfactory.

876. A stone now used as a roof-beam, in a modern dwelling. The letters

are incised in broad, shallow lines, and are hardly legible.
I have been unable to decipher this inscription.

877. Architrave. On a section of an architrave, apparently belonging to a
colonnade, now used as a beam to support the ceiling of a modern dwelling. The
right end rests in the wall, the left on a pillar which supports another section, at right
angles to the first. The second block is not inscribed. The pillar is certainly not in
its original state, and the architrave is doubtless not in situ. Other sections were found,
