The first inscription in Mardin is a pedimental funerary stele of a man and his wife, and dated to the late 3rd to early 4th century AD. Its translation is as follows: <i>Argeios son of Papinios, while living and of good mind, for Kyria his wife as a memorial</i>. The second inscription in Mardin is a slab with baptismal iconography and an inscription. It originates from the Mardin region and could be dated to the 5th century AD. Its translation is as follows: <i>The voice of the Lord is upon the waters</i>. A vow. The last inscription is an Early Byzantine inscription from Diyarbakır. Its translation is as follows: <i>+On behalf of a vow of your servant Akakios, comes of Caesarea and his child. He made it from his own resources in the times of the most pious abbot Gourias.+</i>
