They are thus Christian spolia. This study is concerned, specifically, with a group of blocks in which the cross is clearly shifted towards one of their ends. We interpreted these as being originally funerary steles of despoiled tombs from the proto-byzantine period. Should our hypothesis turn out to be valid, it would open a new field of archaeological research.
