E07518: Very small fragments of probably two Damasan inscriptions, possibly referring to martyrs whose names are lost. Found in the Catacombs of the Jordani (Catacomba dei Giordani) on the via Salaria, Rome. Probably 366-384. [provisional entry]

As far as we can say, the fragments were first published by Antonio Ferrua and Danilo Mazzoleni in the 9th volume of ICVR, and do not feature in the reference collections of the Damasan inscriptions.

Ferrua and Mazzoleni offer just a drawing of the letters on the extant pieces. The restorations are by Antonio Felle from the Epigraphic Database Bari (see the bibliography):

Piece A:

[- - -] ma[rtyr- - -?]
[- - -] cru[deli? - - -]

'martyr (?) ... cruel (?)'

Piece B:

[- - -]si[- - -]
[- - -]dit s[- - -]

Piece C:

[- - - m]eritu[m - - -]
[- - -]a[- - -]

'merits'

Piece D (probably from another text, as the thickness differs from that of Pieces A-C):

[- - - mere?]nti [- - -]

'merited one'

Piece A' (probably from an ordinary inscription, on the reverse of piece A):

[- - -]un[- - -]

Text: ICVR, n.s., IX, no. 24311.
