Notes
The right side of the inscription has not been photographed,but only a few letters are missing. On the left and lower part of the inscription the thin rock crust is damaged. There possibly were two additional lines on top, above the list of names. Although some of the names, such as Ἀθανάσιος, Αὖλος, Νοννα, Φιλούμενος, and Ἀβδάλλα may be found in different parts of the East, Εἰσαροῦς is found in Egypt only.
