Inscription type: 
quotation
Location: 

At the center of a mosaic pavement, Locus 12.

Physical description : 

Fragmentary inscription within a medallion at the center of a mosaic pavement with a blue and white design of crosses. Only the lower half is preserved.

Text: 

[? Εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου πορευ]σόμεθα.

Translation: 

Let us go into the house of the Lord. (KJV)

Commentary: 

Perhaps the end of Ps. 121 (122):1 (Εὐφράνθην ἐπὶ τοῖς εἰρηκόσιν μοι· εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου πορευσόμεθα). If so, presumably only the second sentence, given the space the medallion must have provided originally - or the beginning may have been inscribed in a pendant medallion.

Summary: 

Fragmentary inscription with a Psalm quotation (?) within a medallion, at the middle of the mosaic pavement in Locus 12.
