236. Building inscription from a church of St. Michael
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).
