courses of plain masonry are required above the arch to bring the moulded course, in
line with the rest of the cornice. The inscription faces towards the church.
The first two words are at the top of the stone. In the center of the block there
seems to have been some kind of relief, now weathered off. The last word is at the
bottom of the stone, the last two letters running over on the voussoir next to the
key-stone on the right. The letters are about 5^ cm. high, and are handsome in form
and well cut.

and very near No. 1176. The building to which this doorway belonged has disappeared.
In the center is a rectangular plate in relief, 92 by 27 cm. The first line of the
inscription is incised above this plate. It is 65 cm. long, and the letters 7 to 8 cm.
high. The other five lines are incised upon the plate, and are so badly weathered that
I was not able to read them in the time at my disposal. I think that perhaps they
could be read; but I do not believe that their contents would prove to be of great
importance.

On the lintel is a door-cap, on each side of which is a large wreath, with a bowr-knot
beloAv and a rosette within the wreath. The inscription is incised, in broad strokes,
on the next to the lowest fascia of the door-cap. This fascia is 11 cm. broad. The
inscription begin 3 cm. from the left end of the fascia, is 1.50 m. long, and ends
61/, cm. from the right end. The letters are 6 cm. high. They are badly weathered;
