- Abstract
The Glagolitic inscription on a fragment of a flat ancient roof tile called tegula was found in 2007, during the archeological excavation of graves close to St. George's church between Petrača and Buići in Župa Dubrovačka, Croatia. The excavated graves are from 10th to 12th century. The Glagolitic inscription was found in the vicinity of one grave. It was covered by lime scale. After it had been cleaned, 102 characters were revealed. It is the second largest Croatian inscription from the earliest Glagolitic period 10th-12th c., the Baška plate being the largest. Many similarities with the Croatian Glagolitic sources from the 11th century are proved by the paleographic analysis. The language is Croatian with seven vowel system: a, e, i, o, u, jor and jat. John has written the first part which consists of 60 characters: s(ь s)utьžerь : zьdalь potug[a] a emu estь sьn[ь p]etrь a petro[v]ь sьnь pьsalь îvanь. It means: (This) St. George (was) built (by) Potuga and his son is Peter and Peter's son John (has) written. In the second part Stephen invoked St. Sophia and St. Sylvester: [s(ve)ta s]opiê : î s(ve)ti sol[ь]vêstrь a iestь (or: i estь)[s]têpanь pisalь s(e). It means: S(ain)t Sophia and S(ain)t Sylvester and Stephen has written (thi)s. According to the morphology and the character position as well as the language characteristics and content it is a Croatian inscription from the 11th century.
