Commentary
This capital was one of three found by Avi-Yonah in his excavations in 1956. His interpretation was Πατρικιο(υ) on the first side and Κόνσ(ουλος) or Κονσ(ουλαρίου) on the other. The identification of the consul Patricius who lived in the 5 c. CE was suggested by the excavator. It, however, is highly conjectural and was frequently called as “fanciful”.
