<div type="commentary">
<p>One of thirteen Greek mosaic inscriptions found at a Christian church at Evron. The
church was constructed in three stages, the first in the 415 CE (when this
inscription was made), the second in 442-443 CE, and the third in 490 CE. This
inscription records the year as 463 according to the calendar of Ptolemais-Acre. The
mosaic utilizes green glass tesserae, which had thus far only been known to appear in
mosaics dating from the sixth century and later. This dedicatory inscription is made
of black tiles on a white background, and lines one through nineteen are surrounded
with a rectangular black border. The inscription contains three monogramatic crosses.
There is a small monogramatic cross at the end of line fifteen and line nineteen.
Between lines lines nineteen and twenty there is a very large monogramatic cross
inside of a circle. The cross and the circle are both composed of black border tiles
and white interiors. The twentieth and twenty-first lines are upside down in relation
to the rest of the inscription. The inscription includes a number of minor
officials's titles. These are the χωρεπίσκοπος (Chorepiscopos) a representative of
the bishop with little authority; the ἀναγνώστου (anagnostes or the reader-lector),
who read from the Holy Scriptures to worshippers; the ψηφοθέτης (psiphotetes) an
artisan who laid mosaics; and the υποδιάκων (subdeacon) who assisted the deacon. The
names Euthalios, Paulus, and Strategios are of Greek origin, while the names
Germanos, Domninos, Ioulianos, and Maximon are of Latin origin. The editor also notes
that the names Zadacon and Samacon are of Semitic origin and that the name Ioannis is
Semitic-Hellenized. The inscription makes use of lunate sigmas. On line 9 of the
inscription, the author records an S character which seems to be an abbreviation
mark.</p>
