Notes
Rectangular mosaic inscription with black letters, white background, and a black outline. The top of the inscription is damaged. Inscription carm0011 is in the same rectangle mosaic as inscriptions carm0012 and carm0013. It is the left column. There is a decorative branch below middle column. One of 18 mixed funerary and dedicatory inscriptions in the church's early stratum. The author considers this to be one of the latter, recording a donation, though it lacks the specified donation amount present in the group's other dedicatory inscriptions.
