#EpigraphyTuesday brings us back to the #exhibition of the traces of #EarlyChristianity in #Jordan, currently at the palazzo della #Cancelleria in #Rome, to see one of the oldest surviving examples of #Christian #Aramaic script. #ClassicsBluesky 🏺

MOSAIC PANEL WITH ARAMAIC INSCRIPTION, 510-531 CE. MOUNT NEBO MUSEUM, JORDAN

On Mount Nebo in modern Jordan, a number of Christian religious sites sprung up to commemorate the death of the Old Testament prophet Moses, who legend says knew he would see the Holy Land but not live to enter it, and indeed the view from the mountain stretches out toward the Mediterranean. In the decades preceding 531, a small church and monastery called "of Kayanos" were built on the northern slope of Mount Nebo, and excavated in 2984 and 1986. Two mosaic floors were found, one superimposed on the other. This mosaic in white tesserae on a red background comes from the lower, older mosaic. It is written in one of the oldest examples of Christian Aramaic, and says "The reader will remember the good works of our lord Gayyan the priest (or the son) of Casiseos, and the heirs who have made (or restored) the parts of (or the furnishings ...) " "Our lord Gayyan" refers to the abbot of the time, and "the heirs" probably refers to the monastic community.
