Re: Part A: Time Period 275-325
Notable for having an explicit date (the majority of inscriptions, unfortunately, do not) and the word Χρειστιανοι. It's slightly before the tetrarchy time period, and I've been saving the earlier stuff for later, but I guess there can be some fuzziness here. Or to expand the time period in questio...
