Division III Section B Part 6
Concerning these gods, see the commentary on No. 1170 above. I judge from
what remains of this inscription that a temple of Seimios and his consort had been
injured in some way, probably by an earth-quake, and was rebuilt or repaired by the
son of Aphrodisios and his wife, of whose names only the last three or four letters
have been preserved. Parts of the walls of two pagan buildings are incorporated in
the church structure.
1194. Tomb. On the lintel of a built tomb, in the form of a cube, originally
surmounted by a dome, south of the church and facing north. The stone is 1.58 m.
long, and 49 cm. high. In the center is a circle enclosing a simple cross, 30 cm. in
diameter, executed in broad, deep lines. The inscription is at the right of this disk,,
and nearer the top than the bottom of the stone. It is 34^ cm. long. The letters,
6 cm. high, are incised, the lines being deep and clear but thin.
M A P I A Μ H Μαρίαμ,η Mariame.
I am not sure, however, that the last two letters are not an abbreviation : if so-
we should read Μαρία ρι(υ·<σΘ)·ρ: May Maria be remembered (i. e. before the Lord) 1
Letters of this type were not common in this region before the sixth century : probably
the tomb itself is not much if at all older than the reign of Justinian I.
