(Tomb) of Theodorus the chartularius son of Simeon.
L.4: ΥΟΥ Di Segni, ΥΟΧ Ameling (CIIP).
Three small fragments of an epitaph (?) of Theodorus (?) the chartularius, found in the debris or used as a ledge.
W. Ameling (CIIP) read the last surviving letter as chi, but its would-be lower right leg is shorter than the lower left and its tip is in fact a hole in the stone surface, making it more likely that it is in fact a mismanaged upsilon, spelling ὑοῦ for υἱοῦ, a common spelling in Byzantine Palestine.
