mosaic, they truly and fairly applaud the great zeal of Paulos, the wise
shepherd, as well as the generosity of the founder. It was Theodoros, who
offered gold from his household, whom Thomas raised, when he became his father
(?), with a devoted soul as an offering (prosphora) to the Forerunner
(Prodromos), after whom he received a homonymous name, who set all the beauty in
this place. So may the Lord, the ruler of all, accept this decent undertaking of
all (contributors?). The whole building of the holy oratory (eukterion) was
paved and roofed with God in the year 594, in the month of Apellaios, in the
time of the tenth indiction. |
