E01980: Floor-plaque with a Greek inscription recording a vow for the repose of a presbyter and sacristan (paramonarios), perhaps of a church dedicated to a saint (whose name is lost). Found in the so-called East church (the cathedral church) at Apameia on the Orontes (central Syria). Dated probably 533/534.
