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, which is rectangular in shape, has a monogrammatic cross to the bottom right of the text. The names Aion and Arion are of Greek origin, while the name Samacon is of Semitic origin. The transcription provided by the article lacks a breathing mark on the name Αἰώνι.
