An offering of Valens, a deacon. Amen.

προσφορά Οὐάλεντος διακόνου Ἀμην

The upper portion of the panel consists of a large inscribed cross. This, along with the content of the epigraph, argue for the panel's location within Khisfin's church. The slab probably stood vertically, and may have been a chancel panel, though it does not show the grooves and squared designs typical of these structures. This and khis0081 are closely similar in their cross designs; both are in deep relief and of the same size. The two slabs are of nearly equivalent dimensions, and the depth measurement for this inscription is actually inferred from khis0081.The nu at the end of the third line is read as an abbreviation of Ἀμήν, which regularly concludes such offertory inscriptions.
