Translation: In the [vicinity of] St Mamas there was a large bridge, with twelve arches; for many waters were coming down. There too was a bronze dragon standing, because it was thought that a dragon used to inhabit there; also, many virgins were sacrificed there. For a certain Basiliskos, who was [a relative] of Numerian Caesar,[1] fell in love with the place and settled in there and built a temple; all these were destroyed by
Zeno.[2]
And the vocative [is] o Maman.
