Notes
The upper part of a rectangular monument, with a smooth frame, within which is a “symbolic” arch that is somewhat broken and prominent. Inside the arch and on the corners there is an inscription in the old borrowed Kufic script, which, through stylistic features, shows that it was in use by the Muslim population in the midst of the Christian period, and reads as follows: “Eternal God. Have mercy on us with your mercy that prevails over all things and see [with your mercy] the place to which I have been sent […].” This monument was found in Petrevi in Friilas on the outskirts of Lisbon at the end of the nineteenth century.
