Notes
"The inscription consists of three fragments. The measurements of Fr. Inv. 2449 are: height: 44; Width: -149; Depth: 43.5. The measurements of Fr. Inv. 119 are: height: 44; Width: -136; Depth: 44. In the photo, the letters are hardly recognizable. The Greek inscription is dated much later than the Latin one. It dates from the 5th or 6th century AD. It was painted in red ink on the stone."
