            <p>This reading assumes that the surviving stone was originally the (upper?) right portion of a lintel with one or more additional lines. The resemblance of these characters to the "revived square alphabet" suggests a date in the early third century C.E. Here, αὐγοῦστα is almost certainly not a name, but a title, traditionally bestowed upon Roman empresses after Augustus gave it to Livia. (The empress here is likely Julia Domna, who sometimes resided in Antioch.) This inscription may indicate a contemporaneous Roman military presence or station in El-Al. Dimensions given refer to the entire remainder of the stone.</p>
