Το παρόν άρθρο εξετάζει μια αδημοσίευτη επιγραφή που βρέθηκε το 1923 στο νησί της Λήμνου κατά την πρώτη έρευνα της Ιταλικής Αρχαιολογικής Σχολής Αθηνών. Η επιγραφή επαναχρησιμοποιήθηκε επιχρισμένη ως οικοδομικό υλικό σε τοίχο της εκκλησίας της Μεταμόρφωσης του Σωτήρος κοντά στο χωριό Σκανδάλη και για τον λόγο αυτό δεν είναι πλέον ορατή σήμερα. Πιθανότατα είναι ταφικού χαρακτήρα και θα μπορούσε να μαρτυρά την παρουσία ενός μεσοβυζαντινού νεκροταφείου στην περιοχή.
This article examines an unpublished inscription found during the first survey on the island of Lemnos by the Italian Archaeological School in Athens in 1923. The inscription, which was reused in the walls of the church of the Metamorphosis of the Saviour near the village of Skandali and is no longer visible today, is probably sepulchral and could attest the presence of a cemetery of the middle-Byzantine period in the area.
Il presente articolo prende in esame un’iscrizione inedita rinvenuta durante la prima ricognizione nell’isola di Lemno da parte della Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene nel 1923. L’iscrizione, reimpiegata nei muri della chiesa della Metamorphosis tou Sotiros presso il paesino di Skandali e oggi non più visibile, è di natura probabilmente sepolcrale e potrebbe attestare la presenza di un cimitero di età mediobizantina nell’area.
