E07516: Very fragmentary Latin epitaph once considered as just possibly referring to a martyr whose name is lost, or *Chrysanthus (chaste man and martyr of Rome, S00306). Now lost, but seen in the Catacombs of Saint Saturninus on the via Salaria, Rome. Probably late 3rd/early 4th c. [provisional entry]

2. Ch[risti martyris] Torrigio, Ch[rysanthi? de Rossi
'[- - -] of the blessed Ch[- - -]'
Note: Torrigio suggested that the inscription referred to a 'martyr of Christ' supposedly mentioned in line 2 (Ch[rist martyris]), while de Rossi restored line 2 as the name Chyrsanthus. It is not clear whether he meant the martyr of Rome Chrysanthus, or an ordinary deceased.
