Division III Section B Part 5
It is in the western part of the town, facing south. The doorway is approached through
a rather long dromos, with steps: in the wall at each side of the dromos is the month
of a cistern. The chamber itself is roomy and well cut. In the roof, near the entrance,
is a hole, through which I suppose the fruit was poured in from above. At the back
of the chamber, near the left-hand corner, is a large circular basin, apparently part
of the solid rock, similar to the basin of a mill for crushing olives. This basin was
filled to the rim by the soil which covered the floor of the chamber, so tjiat it was
not possible in the time at my disposal to examine it thoroughly.
The inscription is rudely incised. The whole, including the crosses, measures 54 cm.
in breadth by 18 cm. in height. Some of the letters are very dim and uncertain: in
fact, the first C of the fourth line is the only letter after the XPHCTOC of which I feel
absolutely sure.

engaged column and capital. See Div. II, b, p. 256 f., Ill. 269 f.
On the left of the inscription is an ornamental disk, on the right an ornamental
square. The first line is 57 cm. long, the height of the five lines together 28 cm.: the
fifth line projects 21 cm. to the right of the others. The first part of this fifth line
