Σισινίου
Memorial of Sisinnius.
For funerary inscriptions of this type (μνήμη +genitive), cf. MAMA XI 379 (1957/64: Anbar); MAMA XI 386 (1957/63: Kavuklar). The monument is of exactly the same type as MAMA XI 379: a large stele, with an inset panel on the shaft containing a large cross in relief, with a tabula ansata above. To all appearances, this stele has been turned upside-down, its original inscription erased, and the tabula ansata reinscribed with the text given here.
