Inscription of Cimber and Exsocho from Cologne

Fremersdorf in the same publication (Germania 1929, 134 no. 11) gives a copy of a sepulchral inscription in limestone (H. 0.575 Br. 0.32 D. 0.08) which was found in the immediate neighbourhood of the Mithraeum. Have / Cimber es(sedarius) et / Pietas Ensocho / essed(ario) sodali / [b]ene merenti / posuit. Vale. On the left above the word Have the copy gives COR but Fremersdorf reads COR[A]X, the first of the seven degrees in the Mithras-mysteries (cf. H. Finke in BRGK XVII, 1927 no. 366).
