Julianus, son of Zabaelos, completed (this).

Ἰουλιανὸς Ζαβαελου ἐτελίωσεν

This fragment was originally published by Ilan without descriptions or measurements. He interpreted the transcription as Τ(ίτος) Ιουλιανὸς Ζαβαελ ἐτελίωσεν. However, examination of a photograph provided by Dauphin raises questions as to Ilan's interpretation. The initial marking stands a bit above the first line of letters, and may be a simple decorative cross rather than a tau. It is not clear whether additional letters once stood to the left in both lines. Therefore, Gregg offers an alternative interpretation represented here. The inscription itself contains several clear elements. The name Ἰουλιανός in line 1 is unambiguous, and forms of τελειόω appear regularly in similar inscriptions in Syria. The second name, Ζαβαελ(ο)υ, is attested.
