One of thirteen Greek mosaic inscriptions found at a Christian church at Evron. This dedicatory mosaic is rectangular with a white background and a black border. The mosaic has significant damage, leaving a small hole in the middle of the first and second lines and a progressively larger one at the end of lines five through eight. The church was constructed in three stages, the first in the 415 CE, the second in 442-443 CE, and the third in 490 CE. The names Dominos, Antonios, and Silvanos are of Latin origin, while the name Alexon is Greek. The inscription makes use of lunate sigmas.
