The fragmentary inscription in the church of Ḥorvat Gilon can be almost entirely reconstructed, revealing the date (given by the era of Creation, corresponding to 531/2 CE), the name of the then bishop of Sepphoris-Diocaesarea, and the name of the martyr patron of the church. The restored text indicates that this was not a monastery church but a village church. The reconstruction also reveals the existence of an earlier text, part of which was superseded by the dating formula. Three more cases are examined of reputed monastic churches, whose dedicatory inscriptions indicate that they did not belong to monasteries
