Galilee. Sepphoris. 400-500 CE. Synagogue. Black and white floor mosaic. Dedication.

Inscription is set in four lines in the middle panel of the fourth band, featuring the showbread table. The upper portion of the panel with most of the Greek inscription was cut out in antiquity and replaced with an Aramaic inscription. Only the last letter of each line, as well as the leg of the xi before the alpha in the third line, remain. The original length of the lines can be reconstructed on the basis of line 4, containing 16 letters - about the same length as line 2 of inscription 14 which contains 15 letters. The four lines probably filled the entire breadth of the central panel. If so, either line 3 was somewhat short or, more likely, the last E in line 2 did not belong to the verb ἐποίησεν but was part of the donor's patrynomic. 400-500 CE Galilee Sepphoris

Sepphoris, found in the synagogue.
