There is room for 4.5-5 letters in the lacuna at the beginning of line 1, and 4 letters in the lacuna at the beginning of line 2. The beginning of line 2 is a name ending in άνου. Dauphin thinks that the form of the letters suggests a sixth century date. The possible dates given all fell within the 12th year indiction. The inscription does not describe the type of structure the mosaic was laid in. The western end of the structure is destroyed, so its original dimensions are also unknown.

Pottery found at the site supports the sixth century dates in the inscription.The author records the second to last character as ϊ rather than i.
