77. Fragmentary acclamations
Description | Text | Translation | Images | Commentary | Location | History
Description
- Monument:
Seven columns (i, 0.54 diam.; others all 0.29-0.30 diam.)
of blue marble, mostly broken at both ends. All showed traces of white
plaster, apparently applied to form a panel.
- Text:
Painted in red on the plaster within a painted square. As
in 75 and 78, there
seem to be several layers of plaster and of script. Decipherment is
made more difficult by the condition of the surface after re-use in
the wall. On only three of the columns could anything of substance be
discerned: the readings are fragmentary and unsatisfactory.
- Letters:
See text below.
- Date:
Fifth/sixth century (terminology).
