Commentary

Like other funerary bases found re-used in the Eastern church, this one might come from the nearest Necropolis, i.e. the Eastern one.

The excavations of the East Church were carried out by Goodchild between 1954 and 1956. Il is highly plausible that the stone had been formerly buried. For explanations about the successive re-uses, see .
