commentary

Note that the palm and the chi-rho are upside down in relation to the text, and the chi-rho is in combination with a small lunate sigma. cf. Agnello, Silloge, n.67 = ISic001632 for another example of the Greek transliteration of the Latin form Quodvultdeus, known in the Latin form in Sicily of Quddeusult (e.g. CIL 10.8045.19). Thomas Hollis gave this particular text to the Sicilian antiquarian Torremuzza, who in turn gave it to Palermo museum
