Description of Monument
A column base; the surface is slightly chipped, and broken
away at the right.
Description of Text
On the upper, flat fascia of the moulding.
Description of Letters
0.02-0.03;
simple; scroll for abbreviation. A cross has been superimposed on the
second line, cut over Β; a similar cross
was cut, presumably at the same time, on the socle of the column
above.
Date
Fifth-sixth century or later (location, lettering, terminology).
l. 1, After Θεοδώρου,
Reinach read ΚΕΤΗΣ, whence
Grégoire restored καὶ Ἀρετῆς; but the first letter is definitely a
round one (Ο or Σ, Ε).
2. Kubitschek read another cross at the beginning of line
2, probably a double reading of the Τ.
Reinach, misled by the superimposed cross, read τῆς θυγατρός.
Translation
Prayer of Theodoros, son of ete, the most
pious deaconess.
Commentary
See discussion at VIII.2, for
this type of text, and at VIII.5.
