Description
Description: Stone lintel from an ordinary house. H. 21 cm; W. 156 cm. Letter height 2.1 cm. ed. IGLS II 573; Jarry 1967, 183–184, no. 105. Cf. TIB 15, 987–988. μ.

I am Symeonis from Kolara (?) I am Apollinarios, presbyter, son of Nestabos. Amen." Commentary: The inscription is dated according to the era of Antioch, and the date corresponds to 462 CE. The meaning of apo kolaron is not clear – it may indicate the place of origin of Symeonis. Jarry also considered a corrupted spelling of the function of kommerkiarios.
