Commentary

Re-used in the East Church, which was built in the fifth century, but remodelled in the sixth.

A personal name probably followed; the surviving traces are not consistent with the common formula δούλου σοῦ here - presumably the postulant's name stood here. The scratched text has the appearance of a personal prayer, perhaps by a workman.
