Four lines carefully engraved, reading: "Remember in this place, in the kathesterion, in the house of God, your servant Herakleides. One God, Jesus Christ, who helps the souls". A θεός was scratched off; "Jesus Christ" written ΙΗ ΧΡ (chrism). Important inscription since it gives the name of the room where the graffito was written: the kathesterion was some kind of guest room located at the entrance of the church.
