[In the year] 243 the Syngeneia of the holy god of the sky did (this) in fulfillment of a vow under the supervision of Annios (son of) Nagda and Lisemseos (son of) Damas.
This inscription was probably part of the temple at Kedesh, which appears to be dedicated to the god Baalshamin based on epigraphical evidence and two carved images of eagles found at the site. The inscription's reference "holy god of the sky" is also believed to refer to Baalshamin. This inscription appears over 7 lines with an average of fifteen letters per line. The date 243 is likely according to the Tyrian era, thus indicating 117/118 CE. The word εὐχήν is an abbreviated formula of κατ' εὐχήν, a commonly met phrase which indicates "in fulfillment of a vow". Fisher, Ovadiah and Roll take the names Annios, Lisemseos and Damas to be Greek, and Nagda to be semetic in origin. Adam Łajtar, on the other hand, holds that Lisemseos is also of Semitic origin. The author notes the proper spelling of συνγένια to be συνγένεια and suggests that it identifies a relationship between the god and the worshippers. The inscription was moved in 1923 to Beirut.
