The inscription shown in the photo was discovered in 1924 at the location of ancient Corinth in Greece. The text is in Latin and reads, "Erastus...bore the expense of this pavement." This is probably a reference to the same "Erastus" referred to in Romans 16:23 as a city official. The inscription, with seven inch letters, dates to the 1st century AD. The limestone slab is in its original location in a field at the ruins of ancient Corinth. PHOTO USED WITH PERMISSION: © BiblePlaces.com
