Notes
The three-line inscription on this lintel is incomplete. Traces of a wreath of leaves engraved in relief survive to the right of lines 2 and 3. The text and decoration suggest that this lintel was part of a synagogue or school, and suggest a date sometime in the third centruy CE. Dimensions refer to the entire remainder of the stone.
