Μνήσθῶσιν Λεόντις κέ Γλυκέρις κέ Φιρμῖνος κέ Σευῆρος

Memorial inscription for four members of the church. Large, square letters typical of early Byzantine inscriptions (in black) are set into a white octagon which is set in a square (the diagonal faces are of the octagon are extend with patterned mosaic to form the square). Opening formula is typical. The first two names are Greek (Γλυκέρις being a form of Γλυκέριος) while the second two are of Latin origin. The letters of the last line of the inscription are shorter than the letters from the other lines. One of 18 mixed funerary and dedicatory inscriptions in the church's early stratum.
