G.09.04

The economic boom of the village is evident in the house architecture. The houses of the Maronites, not only two-storey stone houses but also humbler structures, had lofts, enclosed balconies and porches and big wooden gates with big nails. They were built with local materials and traditional techniques and have incorporated in their external appearance as decorative architectural elements, ancient inscriptions and capitals from the archaeological site of Ancient Maronia. Typical is the extensive use of wood on the second floor.
Wander through the village and locate the part of the inscription, which is incorporated in the outer wall of Mare’s house.

Did you find the new trace?

YES

Correct! At the outer wall of Mare’s house a part of a marble slab has been integrated. It comes probably from a large tomb dated back to the 3rd-4th century AD and bears an inscription for the dead. This part of the text delivers the following:
[----] τη Μουσῶν χάριτι (having the grace of the Muses)
[--σο]φἤ φρενί (the logic of the wise)
[----]τιμὼν θέμιν (honoring justice)
[----]τον κρατὼν (the one having the power)
[--εύ]θύνει νόῳ ( with the liability of the mind)
Proceed to the next point for the 5th stop.

NO

It doesn’t matter. Maybe a mistake was made with the identification of the location. At the outer wall of Mare’s house a part of a marble slab has been integrated. It comes probably from a large tomb dated back to the 3rd-4th century AD and bears an inscription for the dead.
Proceed to the next point for the 5th stop.
