Abstract (en)

Demonstrates that Greek inscriptions on lamps from Byzantine Palestine are legible and do make sense; identifies four groups of lamps (those with the formula "The light of Christ shines for all" without the symbol of the ladder, those with the formula and the symbol, those without the formula, and those with abbreviated inscriptions) and presents the following data for the principal types: linear reproduction of the original script, transcription, type of lamp, script direction, bibliography, and comments.
