Notes
One of thirteen Greek mosaic inscriptions found at a Christian church at Evron. 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. This dedicatory mosaic is rectangular with a black border and is placed above another similarly sized rectangular mosaic (with no inscription). These two smaller rectangles are then surrounded by a larger black and white rectangular border. The editor notes that the name Valentinos is of Latin origin. The inscription makes use of lunate sigmas.
