Abstract

The inscription was discovered in the Archangel monastery complex, near the village of Cemil in Cappadocia. Written in a single line on both sides of a conch inside the apse of the south aisle of the church, it refers to the hieromonk Bartholomew and the deacon Leo. Particularly interesting is the existence of the name of the painter, Archigetas, which is one of the earliest surviving signatures of thirteenth-century painters. The inscription is dated 1217/8, and falls in the reign of Theodore I Laskaris, Emperor of Nicaea.
