Ancient Christian Inscriptions in Corinth (Jesus Christ, gospel, crucify, Holy Spirit)

[angellous_evangellous]

I'm reading the inscriptions from Corinth tonight, and I'll share some interesting Christian ones.

Pl. 49 Inv. 1970 (no. 568, pg 183)

"O God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, look upon Thy servant Epiphanios, yea, amen. Glory to Thee, Holy Trinity"

dated 267-668CE

Pl. Inv. 1728 (no 583 pg 186)

"[the burial place of Deutera, the servant of the Holy Trinity, who died in the month of June (or July) [in the ---- year of the indiction]"

There is a straphogram in the upper left corner - looks like a cross.... very cool. I'll try to post a pic of this one.
