Annotations

The ancient inscription that contains the word logos has been recently discovered on the walls of a civil basilica at the agora of Smyrna/Izmir. Because  the word "Logos"  was of a basic crucil significance in  early Christianity (John 1:1), excavators believe it may be evidence of Christian graffiti on the walls, although its exact meaning has not been determined definitely.
