887. A stone in the jamb of a doorway in a ruined building, in the western
part of the town, on the west side of a courtyard and close to No. 885. I am
inclined to believe that this was a common block such as might have been used in any
wall. I do not know whether it is now in its original place or not. It is 67 cm.
long and 21 broad. The letters, 8 to 11 cm. high, are incised on a plain surface.
Before the inscription is a blank space of 12, after the inscription a space of 7'/2 cm.
Copy by Dr. Littmann.
I lu A N I C ’Ίωχνις : Ioccnis.
Of course this is for ’Ιωάννας : Ioannes.
888. Stone lying in the same courtyard as No. 882, in the western part of the
ruins. It measures 81 by 41 cm., and appears to be complete: probably it was
built into some wall, above a doorway. The letters, 5Σ/2 to 12 cm. high, are in relief
in plates 16 cm. wide. Copy by Dr. Littmann.
’Αντωνίνου λιΘοξοΰ το έργ(ου).
The work of Antoninos, stone-mason.
On the form λίΘοξοΰ see No. 871.
889. IT-TUBA. House, 572—3 a.d. On a large lintel fallen across its jambs,
close by the church and facing south. Its doorway was the entrance to the vestibule
of what appears to have been
a private house. The vestibule
was about 10 feet square, inside,
which probably opened into a
courtyard. There were other
vestibules of the same sort in
this town.
In the center of the lintel
is a large disk within a square.
The rest of the face is plain,
except for two small plates sunk
in the surface, one on either
side of the disk, containing the
inscription. The plate on the
left measures 26‘/2 by i5’/scm., the other 36 by 15 cm. The letters, 10 cm. high,
are in relief.
and opposite the entrance had
a doorway of similar width,
