Description | Text | Translation | Images | Commentary | Location | History


Description

  • Monument: Several columns (diam. 0.46) of blue marble, from the western portico of the Tetrastoon. Several of these columns showed traces of paint, but on only two could anything be deciphered. Even on these little can be made out; not only have they suffered from re-use, but it is clear that there had, as in 77 and 78, been several layers of plaster.
  • Text: Painted in red on several layers of white plaster.
  • Letters: In the flowing style characteristic of these painted texts; 0.035.
  • Date: Fifth/sixth century (terminology).
