1146. Panel of a balustrade, 427 (?) a. d. A block, like the double panels often
found in the second story of the portico of a private dwelling, now built into a late
cross-wall, just inside of an interior doorway of an ancient house which faces south,
in the north center of the town. The stone is 1.80 m. by 95 cm. It contains two
rectangular plates, sunk into the surface, and bordered by simple mouldings : the one
on the left is blank, the one on the right bears the incription. The inscription is
50 cm. long, 31 cm. high at the left end, 25 cm. at the right. The letters are 4 cm.
high: they are incised and fairly well cut. The figures of the date are badly damaged;
but the number of the indiction makes the date fairly sure. Copied by Professor
Littmann und the editor.

Compare No. 1140. The iota with two dots appears also in No. 1139 and else-
where. The name Μαρις is another form of the name Μαρας or Μαρα, the Syriac having
both the forms Mari and Mara·, see under No. 1119 above.

On the letters ΙΧΘΥΣ see the commentary to No. 1188 below. The word υεωκτίστου,
or νηωκτίστου (Waddington), is obviously for νεόκτιστου: in my former publication I suggested
that it might refer specifically to one admitted into the church, and quoted Colossians z,
