μαρτύριον. The words of the sepulchral epitaph Aazbel 3071 μαρτύριον ὀρθοῦ βίου, ‘‘the witness of an upright life,’”’ have a modern ring about them. In 24. 1063° (v/vi A.D.) wkoδομήθη τὸ μα]ρ[τ]ύριον Matw τῇ €, the word refers to a martyr’s shrine: cf. P Oxy VI. 9414 (vi/a.D.) ἀντὶς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, ‘‘opposite the martyr’s shrine,’’ where the editors draw attention to the remarkable form ἀντίς, employed in a local sense—a usage which survives in MGr. See also Pe/agia-Legenden, p. 31° συνελθόντας οὖν ἐν ᾿Αντιoxela ἐκέλευσεν ἡμᾶς ὁ ἐπίσκοπος μεῖναι ἐν τῷ μαρτυρίῳ τοῦ ἁγίου ᾿Τουλιανοῦ.
