Notes
Mosaic inscription, incomplete, set in a medallion 1.38m in diameter within the floor of the baptistry's northern aisle. The second and third lines, damaged, incidated "the nature of the donation, which was probably the mosaic floor." It is presumed that this Procopius is the same as the presbyter named in the preceding epigraph (susi0003), found in the basilica.
