One is tempted to read ίσο^ον in line 1 f. Perhaps έχτίσθη may be in the third
line, or τ(οΰ) εο(φ)ζ έτους, i. e. in the year 575 = 526-7 A· D·
1124. House(?). On an architrave in situ in a colonnade of rectangular piers,
belonging to a small house in the southern part of the town, south of the tower.
The block is badly broken at the top and somewhat damaged at the ends, but the
inscription appears to be complete. The stone itself measures 1.71 m. by 43 cm.: it
was never smoothly finished, and the letters are very crude in form and badly cut.
They vary from 5 to 10 cm. in height. Copied by Professor Littmann.
Ευσεβών, Μαρ[ί]ονος υιός.
Eusebon, son of Marion.
On the name Ευσεβών see above under No. 1120, and on Μαρ[ί]ων under No. 1119.
The inscriptions from Zerzita, seven in number, Nos. 1118-1124, contain names,
which, in their simple or their diminutive form, occur in more than one of these
inscriptions, and in such relationships that they suggest the possibility of arrangement
in some sort of a family tree. These names are Mara, Marion, Ioannes, Eusebon,
Nonnos and Iakobos. Such’ names are common enough, and any arrangement must be
considered purely hypothetical, especially in view of the fact that in most cases not even
the father’s name is given to distinguish the person. However, assuming that it is
natural for a father to name a son after his own father, the following table is offered,
mainly to show the chronological order in which these persons lived.

Ioannes, presbyter and technites(?), 500 a. d. (No. 1120: cf. No. 1177) Eusebon, no date (No. 1124).
