Peter's, but was probably originally behind the See also:apse of this See also:basilica, for there is a See also:fresco of her in an arcesolium, with a matron named Veneranda. The See also:original entrance to the See also:cemetery leads directly into a spacious See also:corridor with no loculi, but recesses for sarcophagi, and decorations of the classical See also:style of the and See also:century. From this a wide See also:staircase leads directly down to a chamber, discovered in See also:March 1881, of a very See also:early date. Within an See also:arcosolium is a tablet set up by " Aurelius Ampliatus and his son See also:Gordian, to See also:Aurelia Bonifatia, his incomparable.wife, a woman of true chastity, who lived 25 years, 2 months, 4 days, and 2 See also:hours." The letters are of the and century; but above the arcosolium was found a See also:- STONE
- STONE (0. Eng. shin; the word is common to Teutonic languages, cf. Ger. Stein, Du. steen, Dan. and Swed. sten; the root is also seen in Gr. aria, pebble)
- STONE, CHARLES POMEROY (1824-1887)

- STONE, GEORGE (1708—1764)
- STONE, LUCY [BLACKWELL] (1818-1893)
- STONE, MARCUS (184o— )
- STONE, NICHOLAS (1586-1647)
stone with See also:great letters, 5 or 6 in. high: "AMPLIATI, the See also:tomb of Ampliatus." Now Ampliatus is a servile name: how comes it to be set up with such distinction in the See also:sepulchre of the Flavii ? See also:Romans xvi. 8 supplies the See also:answer: " Salute Ampliatus, most

beloved to me in the See also:Lord." De See also:Rossi thinks the See also:identification well grounded (Bullettino, 1881, p. 74). Epitaphs of members of the See also:Flavian See also:family have been found here, and others stating that they are put up " Ex INDULGENTIA FLAVIAE DOMITILLAE VESPASIANI NEPTIS." So that De Rossi did not hesitate to See also:complete an inscription on a broken stone thus:

De Rossi began his excavations in the cemetery of See also:Santa Priscilla in 1851, but for See also:thirty years nothing but what had been described by Bosic came to See also:light. In 188o he unearthed a portion near the Cappella Greca, and found galleries that had not been touched since they were filled in during the See also:Diocletian persecution. The loculi were intact and the epitaphs still in their places, so that " they See also:form a See also:kind of museum, in which the development, the formulae, and the symbolic figures of See also:Christian See also:epigraphy, from its origin to the end of the 3rd or 4th century, can be notified and contemplated, not in artificial specimens as in the Lateran, but in the genuine and living reality of their original See also:condition." (Bullett., 1884, p. 68). Many of the names mentioned in St See also:Paul's Epistles are found here: See also:Phoebe, Prisca, Aquilius, See also:Felix Ampliatus, Epenetus, See also:Olympias, Onesimus, See also:Philemon, Asyncritus, See also:Lucius, Julia, See also:Caius, See also:Timotheus, Tychicus, Crescens, Urbanus, See also:Hermogenes, Tryphaena and Trypho(sa) on the same stone. Petrus, a very rare name in the catacombs, is found here several times, both in See also:Greek and in Latin. The neighbouring Coemeterium Ostrianum was anciently known as " Fans S. Petri," " ubi Petrus baptizavit," " ubi Petrus See also:Arius sedit." This cemetery derives its name from Priscilla, See also:mother of Pudens, who is said to have given hospitality to St Peter the Apostle. We are reminded of St Paul, and of his See also:friends See also:Aquila and Prisca, by a See also:monument erected by an imperial freedman who was PRAEPOSITVS TABERNACVLORVM—Chief tentmaker. In 1888 a corridor was discovered which had at one See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time been isolated from the See also:rest of the cemetery. It had no loculi, but recesses in the See also:wall to receive sarcophagi. At the end of the corridor there was a large chamber, 23 ft. by 13 ft., once lined with See also:marble and the See also:ceiling covered with See also:mosaic, a few fragments of which still remain.
