ruins of the house, about fifty yards northeast of “Tower No. 1” and Inscr. 992.
Div. II, b, p. 79 f. The letters of the inscription are 7 cm. high, and are in relief, in
a plate 83/0 cm. high. They are arranged on both sides of a disk, which is in the form
of a wreath, the ends being tied in a knot and terminating in arrow points: within
the wreath is a cross. The diameter of the disk is 2 21/3 cm. The distance from the
left end of the inscription to the disk is 48 cm., from the disk to the right end 79 cm.
The lintel was drawn by Mr. Butler, the inscription copied by the editor.

In Mr. Butler’s drawing reproduced here the figure after the letters ET appears
like the ordinary sign of abbreviation. If so, the date would be 750, or 438 a.d. In
my copy, however, the figure has clearly the form S, i.e. 6.
980. Lintel, 455-6 a.d. A lintel' found lying in the ruins of a building now
entirely destroyed, about 75 yards north of No. 976. It lies close to an underground
chamber, perhaps a stable, completely roofed with slabs, and now approached by a
winding entrance passage. The inscription is incised in two sunken bands, 12 and 16 cm.
wide respectively The width of the space between these bands is about 2 cm. Above
and below the inscription are borders, respectively 9 and 2T/3 cm. wide. In the centre
of the inscription is a square, 22^ cm. broad, containing a disk with -p in relief below
the surface. The letters are well cut, and are 31/3-5 cm. high.
