Five other inscriptions (vi. 576, 589, 610, 656, 679) clearly refer to shrines of which the location is unknown; This inscription was used in the pavement of the church, so that its original provenance is quite uncertain. while others contain no indication of any shrine, but belong apparently to statues only (Rosch. iv. 856-857; cf.
