It is probable that most of the gravestones upon which this heathen formula is found are not of an earlier date than the middle of the fourth century. At this time Christianity became the formal religion of many who were still heathen in character and thought, and cared little about the expression of a faith which they had adopted more from the influence of external motives than from principle or conviction.

This inscription is not of earlier date than the fourth century, as is shown by the words, Inter sancios ,—referring, as we heretofore stated, to the grave being made near that of some person esteemed a saint.

Compare an inscription from a heathen tomb:– C. JVLIVS MAXIMVS ANN. II. M. V.

Other names of this kind were Deogratias , Habetdeum , and Adeodatus .
