The Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine project seeks to build an internet-accessible database of published inscriptions from Israel/Palestine dated ca. 500 BCE to 614 CE. This timespan roughly corresponds to the Persian, Greek, and Roman periods. Our database will make accessible the approximately 10,000 inscriptions published to date and will include substantial contextual information for these inscriptions, including images and geographic information. We tag our data according to Epidoc conventions.

ΚΕΜΝΗϹΚΟΥΑΙΩΝΙΚΑΙϹΑΜΑΚΩΝΟϹΚΑΙΑΡΙΩΝΟϹ

Κ ύρι ε μνήσκου Αἰώνι καί Σαμάκωνος καί Ἀρίωνος.

Lord remember Aion and Samacon and Arion

One of thirteen Greek mosaic inscriptions found at a Christian church at Evron. The church was constructed in three stages, the first in the 415 CE, the second in 442-443 CE, and the third in 490 CE. This dedicatory mosaic, which is rectangular in shape, has a monogrammatic cross to the bottom right of the text. The names Aion and Arion are of Greek origin, while the name Samacon is of Semitic origin. The transcription provided by the article lacks a breathing mark on the name Αἰώνι.
