It looks as though "gurre" was added later to cover something up - or is my imagination running wild {again}?

Lulav and etrog << Visible Words/Visible Parlare (Greek) from Flickr

From a synagogue in Tiberias (Tveria), 7th-8th century CE. Showing heavy Hellenization, this floor contains an inscription in some variant of Greek. But the ritual objects in the flanking panels will be instantly recognizable to modern Jews as a lulav (palm frond) and esrog (citron), used in celebrating the important holiday of Sukkot.

The inscription names the donor: 'Proclos, son of Crispos"

Casale Roma Antica - Parco degli Acquedotti << Spolia from Flickr

bruno brunelli posted a photo:

Localizzato tra il IV e il V miglio dell’antica via Latina, tra gli acquedotti Claudio e Marcio, il Casale di Roma Vecchia è costituito da un insieme di edifici concentrati intorno ad una corte interna; la struttura principale, databile al XIII secolo, è costruita in blocchetti di peperino, scaglie di selce e frammenti di marmo di reimpiego, inglobando resti di edifici di epoca romana. Si ipotizza che in origine l’edificio appartenesse alla tipologia dei casali-torre, sintesi tra funzione strategica di controllo della torre e palazzetto baronale, successivamente trasformato in casale a destinazione agricola. La denominazione “Roma Vecchia” della tenuta a cui la
struttura apparteneva si deve alla presenza nel territorio delle rovine della villa di Sette Bassi, che per la loro estensione erano ritenute nel ‘700 una vera e propria città.
