Division III Section B Part i

The lintel at present is 1.48 m. long and 69cm. high: it is broken at the right,
close to the right edge of a square containing a cross, 57 cm. broad and 62 cm. high.
Doubtless this square was originally in the center of the lintel, and, if so, the whole
stone must have been approximately 21/s meters in length. The square, with the cross,
the letters A and UU, and various ornaments in the corners, is in relief: the rest of the
face is plain. The inscription is incised, in
broad and 90 cm. long. The letters are 6
especially the last seven.

4- Κ(ύρι)ε βοηθι θω μν(·ημείω) ’ΐωαν(νου).
+ Lord help the monument (i.e. tomb ?)
of Ioannes.

Inscr. 891.
If B lu is for the article τώ, the form is singular. In the upper corner of
the last N there appears to be a small A: perhaps then ’ΐωανα, of Ioanas, should
be read.

892. Lintel. Stone, probably a lintel, lying, partly buried, in the eastern part
of the town, east of the church. It is now 1.40 m. long and 53 cm. broad; but it is
broken at both ends. In the center is a disk with a cross in relief, 45 cm. in diameter.
The inscription is incised on a plain surface: the letters are 5 to 673 cm. high. Copy

893. ABU IL-KUDUR. Lintel (?), 574-5 a.d. Stone, doubtless a lintel, now
on end as a support for the roof of a room, built perhaps in medieval times, and
recently used as a dwelling. The present length is 1.38 m., the height 28'/3 cm.: it
is broken at both ends. In the center is a disk with a broad-arm cross, 31 cm. in
diameter. The inscription is incised.

894. IL-ΆΝΖ. Lintel, 542 a.d. A large and handsome lintel, now over the
entrance to the courtyard of a modern dwelling, facing south, in the center of the
village. The lintel and its jambs seem to be in their original place: doubtless they
formed the entrance to a large court as now, perhaps the court of a church. See
Div. II, Ill. 21. The stone measures 2.60 m. in length and 64 cm. in height. In the
