Division III Section B Part 6
1198. House (?). On a lintel lying- upon the ground in the ruins of what appeared
to be a simple private house, about 100 yards north of the South Church. In the
center is a raised rectangular plate, 23 cm. broad, which may have contained, a cross
in relief. The letters are on either side of this plate: they are 12 cm. high, incised
in deep lines. I found no trace of any other letters.
6I C Θ square € O C Είς ®·ός. One God.
A discussion of this formula will be found in A. A. E. S. in, p. 51 f., No. 25
commentary, and under No. 1126 above: see also No. 1168 f.
1199. FAFIRTIN. Church, 372 a. d. On a lintel, originally over the eastern-
most door in the south wall of the church. All of the church has been destroyed
except the apse. Div. II, b, p. 327. The lintel is 2.29 m. long and 59 cm. high.
In the center is an incised circle enclosing a cross, 35 cm. in diameter. Both the
upper corners of the stone have been cut away, so that some letters have been lost
from the end of the third line, and probably from the ends of the first and second
lines also. The letters are incised: they are irregular in size, most of them being 7
or 8 cm. high. The whole inscription is almost hopelessly weathered, and the reading
is very uncertain.

Straight is the way of life(?). Under Antiochos (?) the bishop (?). Mans, perio-
deutes. One God and his Christ, that giveth aid. In (the) year 420, month Loos.
(August, 372 A. D.)
The first line of this inscription has a strong biblical flavor. Compare, for example,
Hosea xiv, 10: Ευθεία! αί οίοί του Κυρίου, και όΐκαιοι πορεύσουται ευ αύταίς. Proverbs xv, 24:
Όίοΐ ζοής οίαυοήυ.ατα συνετοί. Proverbs XX, 14: ΚΧ ευθεία ή οό'ος αυτοί. Acts χιιι, ίο:
Ου παύσή Ααστρεφων τάς ο'ό'ούς Κυρίου τάς ευθείας. See also Psalms cvi, 7 and cxlii, 10,
and Acts n, 28 where Psalm xv, 11 is quoted. Something similar to the present
inscription is perhaps contained in the perflexing inscription under No. 1208.
With regard to περιοίευτής see No. 1118 above.
1200. BAZIHER. House (?). Lintel in the second story of a building, probably
a private house, facing south, in the west center of the town. The inscription, in
broad, deep strokes, is incised below a door-cap. The whole inscription is 1.62 m.
long, the letters 5 to high.
