The present article focuses on the dedicatory inscription of St Charalambos, the katholikon of the Lefkai monastery in the village of Avlonari in Euboea. The inscription dates back to the second building phase of the monument, between 1143-1180. Pantelis Zographos was the first researcher who dealt with the dedicatory inscription, making however fundamental mistakes. He was followed by Johannes Koder in 1973. All subsequent researchers adopted and followed Koder’s interpretation. On the basis of new information, an amendment and new reading of the inscription are proposed which lead to a new marble carver’s signature, that of Κοσμᾶς ὁ μαρμαράριος in the dedicatory inscription. Inscriptions with the name of a stone or marble carver from the Middle Byzantine period in Greece are, up to this point, extremely rare.

Lefkai (Euboea) 修道院的捐赠者铭文：中拜占庭时期 μαρμαράριος 的新证据

本文重点介绍了位于 Euboea 的 Avlonari 村的 Lefkai 修道院的 katholikon 圣 Charalambos 的奉献铭文。铭文可以追溯到纪念碑的第二个建筑阶段，即 1143 年至 1180 年之间。Pantelis Zographos 是第一个研究奉献铭文的研究人员，但犯了一些根本性的错误。1973 年，约翰内斯·科德紧随其后。随后的所有研究人员都采用并遵循了科德的解释。在新信息的基础上，提出了对铭文的修正和新的解读，这导致了一个新的大理石雕刻师的签名，即在奉献铭文中的 Κοσμᾶς ὁ μαρμαράριος。迄今为止，刻有希腊中拜占庭时期石头或大理石雕刻师名字的铭文极为罕见。
