The inscription is known only from Ballance’s notebook copy. For the indigenous name Νησις, which was extremely common in Lykaonia, see the commentary to MAMA XI 362 (1957/49: Kana). The clerical titles presbyteros (‘elder’) and oikonomos (‘steward’) are very frequently combined in early Christian epigraphy.
