including a space of 14cm. after the letters ΓΙΟΝ, where there seems to have been a

One God and his Christ and the Holy Spirit! Finished in {the'} month of Loos
20th, of the 479th year. (August, 431 a.d.).

See the preceding inscription.

1078. House v, 434 (?) a.d. Lintel of a dwelling-house with a colonnade before
it, facing south, immediately east of “Trinity Church.” See Div. II, b, p. 191 and
Ill. 197. The lintel is 3.10 m. long, and 65 cm. high. The inscription is incised in
broad lines, and is badly weathered. It begins 12 cm. from the left end of the stone.
The first part is 1.41 m. long: it is followed by some ornament in relief, then by a
mutilated space sufficient for about five letters: the letters KYPE are 29cm. in length,
and are followed by a space of 63 cm. to the right end of the lintel, containing a
cross, but apparently nothing else.

In {the} year 48 2 (·ρ)ι month Loos. Help, Lord! + (August, 434 (?) a.d.).
At the right end of the lintel, near the bottom, there appear to be the remains
of two short lines, of perhaps seven of eight letters each, which I was unable to de-
cipher. The first word might be εκτεσεν for εκτισεν, the second a name.

1079. Building xiii, 436 a.d. On the face of a rectangular pier, near the middle
of a portico, in the northwest section of the town, about 150 feet west of the Church
of Paul and Moses. Published in A.A.F.S. ill, 59. See also Div. II, b, p. 188.
The letters are incised in an incised dove-tail plate, which is 40 cm. long and 23 cm.
high. The letters are rough and weathered, but perfectly legible.

The 14th of the month Xandikos, of {the} year 484. (April, 436 a.d.).

It is interesting to find that, although generally in this region little attention was
paid to the division of syllables, the person who carved this inscription chose to draw
a line above the letters 2 A as a sign of abbreviation, rather than put the N, which
belonged to this syllable, in the following line, where there was room enough for it.

1080. House xi, 452 a.d. Lintel of a dwelling-house, facing north, in the ex-
treme western part of the town, nearly due south of No. 1079. See Div. II, b, p.
192. The lintel is 2.30 m. long, and 70^ cm. high. In the center is a disk, 52 cm.
in diameter. The inscription is incised, and is written in columns, one on each side
of the disk. The columns are 44 cm. high, and the lines in each vary from 24 to
34 cm. in length. The letters are from 4 to 6 cm. high.
