| Summary: | The present three Greek inscriptions, out of 63, were found during the archaeological campaigns carried out by the late Fr. Virgilio C. Corbo ofm at the site in the 1960s. They were first read, deciphered, drawn, photographed and studied some fifty years ago by the late Fr. Emmanuele Testa ofm, and have been published in 1972. The present inscriptions seem to have been engraved by monks, when a small monastery was established among the remains of the Herodian palace/ fortress at Herodion in the early Byzantine period (4th-7th centuries CE). Each of these engravers expressed his thoughts, feelings and desires. |
