236. Building inscription from a church of St. Michael

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


Description

  • Monument: White marble architrave block, broken to right (1.98 × 0.35 × 0.555) with a plain moulding, interrupted by mutules, above a single plain fascia. Probably Hellenistic.
  • Text: Inscribed in two lines on the fascia, which is rough, perhaps from the erasure of another text, but more probably because it was never prepared for an inscription.
  • Letters: Clear, angular; 0.05.
  • Date: Sixth century (lettering, formula).

Text [Font help][Conventions]

  vac. cross Μιχαὴλ βοήθι πᾶσι [vac.]
  vac. τοῖς καρποφοροῦσιν vac.
