page 361 note 1 Are these capitals related in shape to some cubic capitals from the Episcopal Church in Stobi, published by Kitzinger in the monograph reviewed below? They are illustrated in figures 211–215, inclusive. The Stobi capitals are decorated with floral motifs, but they appear to be related to the bird capitals in shape and design. Figure 215 is very close. The Stobi capitals are dated in the sixth century.Google Scholar
page 363 note 2 The English translation was made by D. J. Chitty. The document was published with a Latin translation by the Patriarch Rahmani at Mainz in 1899. This Latin version is quoted in full in Kaufmann, , Handbuch der christlichen Archaeologie (1922) 164. The English translation is from the original Syrian, not from the Latin version.Google Scholar

page 365 note 4 The annex rooms are large enough to permit such use of them; the squarish room is about 6.35 m. long and a trifle less in width; the long room would be about 11.08 m. × 4.76 m.Google Scholar

page 365 note 6 In view of the fact that this monograph aims in part at giving aid to those who do not read the less commonly known languages, such terms as ‘theca’ might have been translated rather than transliterated (thēkē would be a better equivalent of the Modern Greek values of the letters) and some explanation given of what is meant by ‘dedicational flask’; otherwise the fact that this is a reliquary is not clear. Kitzinger cites Deltion 1918, Parartema p. 33 and figs. 48–50 for this. A better reference is Ephemeris 1929, pp. 239–241, especially p. 241 and figs. 72–74. There are clear drawings of the thēkē and the contents of the flask is given.Google Scholar
