hand corner of the stone. The plate is 36cm. long and 22 wide, exclusive of the
dove-tails. Below this is a vine, enclosed in a band resembling a rope. The second
quarter of the stone was occupied by a disk enclosed in a square : the disk originally
contained a cross, which has been erased.

the lintel.

The stone is 59cm. long and 46 high: it is broken at the right and at the bottom.

I suppose that this inscription refers to the empress Theodora. Perhaps it was
under her patronage that the triple churches at this place were built.
899. Lintel, 564 a.d. A lintel on the ground north of the ruins. It is some-
what broken at both ends. The original length was probably about 2γ3 meters: now
the measurement from the extreme left end to the center of the disk, near the center
of the present block, is 1.22 m. The disk is in relief below the surface, in a square
plate, 3972 cm. broad: there was originally a cross within the disk; but this is now
almost obliterated. The inscription, in letters G f to 7 cm. high, is incised on a plain
surface: the first part is 71, the second 54, cm. long. Copy by Dr. Littmann.

wall immediately south of the foundations of the north church. See Div. II, Ill. 22.
The inscription, in letters 10 cm. high, is in relief in a plate, 13 cm. wide, sunk below
the surface. Above the plate is a border, 5 cm. wide. At the right side the border
is 13 cm. wide. Below the inscription is a band, 2 cm. wide, below which again is a
vine in relief. The last two letters are written together, and are probably nA.

901. Lintel. Fragment of a lintel, on end and nearly buried, about the center
of the open court enclosed by the three churches. It is broken at the left: the right
end is in the ground. In the center is a large disk with a cross, in relief. The
hand corner of the stone. The plate is 36cm. long and 22 wide, exclusive of the
