Notes
One of thirteen Greek mosaic inscriptions found at a Christian church at Evron. The dedicatory mosaic is with a white background and black and white border. There is an area of circular damage in the top left corner of the mosaic (lines one through four). There is a black tile line which separates the first four lines from the rest of the inscription. Many and various types of geometric art surround the inscription. The church was constructed in three stages, the first in the 415 CE, the second in 442-443 CE, and the third in 490 CE. Abbreviations are indicated in the text with an S symbol. The inscription makes use of lunate sigmas.
