Division III Section B Part 6

1163^. BASHAMRA. Lintel. On a lintel, in situ, facing west. The stone
measures 2.55 m. by 71 cm. The letters are 11 to 12 cm. high, and the whole
inscription is 82 cm. long. Copied by Professor Butler.
K A I C 0 I Καί σοί. To thee also.
These words are discussed above, under No. 1125.
1164. BASijFAN. On a fragment, upside down in the east wall of an Arabic
tower, which is built against the south side of the East Church. See Div. II, b, p. 284,
Plan of Church. The stone is 1.11 m. long and 23 cm. wide: it is broken at the
left end. It might have been part of an architrave, or of the lintel of a small door
or a window.

1165. KEFR LAB. Lintel. On a large lintel in the south wall of a small
ancient building, facing south, at the extreme north edge of the town. The lintel is
not in its original place. The inscription, in letters about 5 cm. high, is incised at the
bottom of the face: its total length is 1.49 m. It is so badly weathered that I could
read no single word. One letter only, Φ, seemed certain: farther on N X seemed
probable
It is possible that this document began
+ PPI ΦΤ ftpCC WtKgaHHNXSTr°ICTn with a date, of which the Φ formed a part,
inscr. 1165. and should be read: φ- Έτ[ουσ] </, or + Toy
-f έτους.δ <?άνα.znoffpzv.
I think it is possible, however, that the inscription is not Greek at all.

1166. Lintel. On a lintel lying on the ground, about 50 feet southeast of the
foregoing. The inscription is incised on the topmost band of a series of mouldings,
including two rows of dentils, forming a sort of door-cap. On each side of this door-
cap is a dovetail plate in relief, upright. The letters are formed by broad lines, and
are about 5 cm. high: those now preserved measure together 1.14T/2 m. in length:
originally there were from 3 to 6 more at the beginning, and 1 or 2 more at the end.
□E PINE H NΗΠAΟEH YΠ I
The μ, in both places, is very doubtful: so also A 0. The two letters before
Y Π may be K UU, instead of μ , or after μ (?) a .
I have not been able to decipher this inscription satisfactorily. Perhaps [Είς] Θί[ος|
/χόνος- βοΐίΘί τώ οίκω: One God only: help this house, might be read. At the end,
ύπογίω or τούτω. See the commentary on No. 1126.
1167. BURDJ HEDAR. Doorway with a vestibule, 487 a. d. On the lintel
of a doorway, in what was a handsome wall, having before it a vestibule with sides
