2.09m. long, and 30cm. wide: it is broken at the right end through the right half
of the third disk, and at the bottom through the center of all the disks. Originally
the lintel must have been nearly 21/3 meters long. The disks and the inscription are
in relief, within a plain border. The inscription is in two parts, one on each side of
the central disk. The letters are about 8 cm. high.

884. Panel of a chancel-rail, 597 a.d. (?) A part of a chancel-rail, or a
plate of a balustrade, lying in a pile of ruins, between Nos. 882 and 885. It is
broken crosswise through about the middle. The breadth across the top is 81 cm.,
the maximum height of the present fragment 45 cm. In the center is the upper half
of a large disk, in relief, 64 cm. in diameter over all. Within the disk are large leaves
in relief, like fig-leaves in appearance, but probably intended for leaves of a grape-
vine. The inscription is incised, rather rudely, on the border along the top of the
face, above the disk: this border is 11 cm. wide. The lower half of this block lies a
few feet farther to the north. Copy by Dr. Littmann.

885. Fragment of a stele (?). In a pile of blocks, in the western part of the
ruins. In a wall just above is No. 887. The present block is 79T/2 cm. long: its
height is 47T/2 cm. on the right side, and 37 on the left. It is broken at the top. The
letters, 5 to 5'/3 cm. high, are incised. Incised lines divide the lines of the inscription
from each other. About the three unbroken sides is a border, i'/3cm. wide, formed
by an incised line.

It is 1.45 m. long and about 75 cm. broad: it is broken at both ends. In the center
is a disk with a cross, in relief, 62 cm. in diameter. The inscription also is in relief,

three 38 cm.: they are 10 cm. high. Below the inscription are various ornamental
