three of them bearing the three inscriptions which follow under Nos. 878, 879 and 880.
The blocks are light in proportion to their length, and, in Mr. Butler’s opinion, may
have formed the architrave of a colonnade about a cloister court.
The length of the present stone is 2.49 m., its height 2Or/j cm. The inscription
is incised, in letters 6'/.3 to 7 cm. high, between two incised lines, the one 5 cm. from
the top, the other 4'/3 cm. from the bottom. Before the inscription is a blank space,
28 cm. long, and after the inscription a blank space of 7 cm.

4- Remember, Ο Lord, those who have made offering
The text recalls the well-known passages in the liturgies, such as Μν<σ9η-ί, Κ(ύρι)ε,
των καρποφορούντων καί καλλίεργούντων εν ταίς άγάζις σου εκκλησίας κ.τ.λ. 1 I am unable, how-
ever, to explain the last four letters, εξ·/?ρ. The dative with ριν^σΘ^τί is due, perhaps,
to a confusion of this verb with βο^δείν.
878. Architrave. Section of architrave, probably the same as the preceding,
now used as a lintel over the doorway in a ruined building, apparently a stable. Its
length is 1.05 m., its width 21cm. The letters, 6 to 7^3 cm. high, are incised between
two incised lines, the one g/<, cm. from the top, the other 31/2 cm. from the bottom.
Before the inscription is a blank space sufficient for two or three letters. The stone
is apparently broken at the right, close to the last letter. Copy by Dr. Littmann.

I suppose t?car/jg to be for άλωτης, as βα^ών is for βοτκών in No. 875.
879. Architrave. A stone built into the jamb of the doorway over which
No. 878 was found. This was probably a piece of the same architrave. The length
is 8772, the breadth 21 cm. The inscription is incised, in letters 7 to 8 cm. high, be-
tween two incised lines, the one 6 cm. from the top, the other 4 cm. from the bottom.
The stone is broken at both ends.

This reading is not certain, and I am unable to interpret the text. It seems to
be the ending of a hexameter verse.
880. Fragment. Found in an inner room of a modern dwelling, built into
the inner face of an exterior wall, over a window or door which is now blocked up
