-
A number of blocks and fragments of blocks: (all
originally 0.530.42-48, varying width). a) Fragments of 7
blocks. Fragments 6 and 7 are wrongly conflated as a
single text by CIL, followed by Diehl, Inscr. lat. christ.
vet. 2468 (erroneously attributed to Rumia). Not seen. b)
Fragments of 16 lintels and wall-panels. To these must be
added a lintel fragment, containing the central part of
text 2, seen and photographed by Bartoccini c.1925,
re-used as part of a column in an unidentified mosque near
Msufiin. 1. Complete lintel (w: 1.41 x ), found in situ
over doorway V. 2. Three fragments of a lintel (w: 3.00 x

- Text:
-
These blocks belong to a series of inscriptions, all of
similar form and content, which appear to have formed a
continuous course along the outer face or faces of the
building. Some of the blocks served also as lintels of
doorways, and in these the text is interrupted by a
central Chi-rho monogram.
- Letters:
-
Well cut lapidary capitals: 0.095-0.10. The text is cut in
three lines within a frame of continuous horizontal
incised lines (double between ll.1 and 2, and ll.2 and 3),
with vertical lines marking the left and right-hand
margins of the individual panels. There is a fourth line,
below the frame, on some blocks; on the lintels this part
of the stone is cut away.
