Dedicatory inscription on the floor in front of the chancel of the church. It is located above Birs0006, and the editor suggests that all they should therefore be read together as a continuous text. He also points out that the large letters and prominent location indicate the importance of Stephanos and the construction of the church to the community. The mosaic has black letters set into a white background. The Stephanos mentioned in this inscription is also mentioned in Birs0002, Birs0004, and Birs0008. He is referred to as a πρεσβύτερος in this inscription and in Birs0008 and as a ἰερεύς in Birs0002 and (possibly) Birs0004. The editor indicates that these two titles can both be equally used to indicate the same clerical rank of priest. He is also identified in this inscription as the paramonarios, a position which was part of the religious administrative hierarchy and which indicates that he was the bailiff or guardian of the church. Stephanos was therefore the highest ranked ecclesiastical figure at Birsama. The name Stephanos is of Greek origin. The inscription makes use of lunate sigmas as well as large miniscule omegas (in the place of majuscule omegas). The editor records two "S" characters in his diplomatic and seems to understand these as abbreviation marks.
