Description
- Monument:
A white marble doorpost.
- Text:
A cross has been carefully sculpted (H. 0.31), and the
surface cut away around it; it is very similar to that on the facing
door-post (117), but not so well centred.
Text ii is arranged around the oval recessed area surrounding it; text
i is some way above, text iii some way below. There are several other,
less substantial, crosses inscribed on this door-post.
- Letters:
i: a cross monogram, H. 0.17. ii:
letters: 0.025-0.04.
iii: letters: 0.015-0.025; lightly cut and partially
erased.
- Date:
Fifth-sixth century or later (lettering, location).
