This was a version of the Trisagion prayer proposed by Peter the Fuller but today it is considered rather as the contemporary Antiochene version of this acclamation (and thus popular in the environs of Antioch) rather than a manifestation of particular devotion to the non-Chalcedonian creed.

Description
description: Fragment of an arch with spandrels bears the following inscription. The fragment is decorated with carvings of leaves, birds, and animals. ed. Mouterde & Poidebard 1945, 217-218, no. 60 (from a report by J. Lauffray); IGLS IV 1847. Cf. Mouterde & Poidebard 1945, 175-176; Strube, Andorra 93; Alpi, Route royale II, p. 54, no. J7; TIB 15, p. 1644–1645). [+ ἅγιος ὁ Θεός, ἅγιος ἰσχυρός], ἅγιος ἀθάνατος ὡ σ[ταυρωθεὶς δι’ ἡμᾶς - - -] ‘[+ Holy God, holy and strong], holy and immortal, [crucified for us]!’ commentary: Already Mouterde and Poidebard pointed out that this inscription can be reconstructed as the Trishagion prayer in its non-Chalcedonian version, and for this reason suggested a date later than 470 (sc. after Peter the Fuller introduced the extended prayer). As parallels, they cite similar versions from: IGLS II 289, 357, 482, and Mouterde & Poidebard 1945, 192, no. 19.

Commentary
Already Mouterde and Poidebard pointed out that this inscription can be reconstructed as the Trishagion prayer in its non-Chalcedonian version, and for this reason suggested a date later than 470 (sc. after Peter the Fuller introduced the extended prayer). As parallels, they cite similar versions from: IGLS II 289, 357, 482, and Mouterde and Poidebard 1945, 192, no. 19.
ἅγιος ὁ Θεός, ἅγιος ἰσχυρός, ἅγιος ἀθάνατος ὁ σταυρωθεὶς δι’ ἡμᾶς, or ‘Holy God, holy and strong, holy and immortal, crucified for us!’ as reconstructed by Paul Mouterde. This was a version of the Trisagion prayer proposed by Peter the Fuller but today it is considered rather as the contemporary Antiochene version of this acclamation (and thus popular in the environs of Antioch) rather than a manifestation of particular devotion to the non-Chalcedonian creed.
