Notes	If a person of ancient times suddenly appeared before us, we would probably first look at him with respect and amazement. After a while, we become curious, we want to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity and learn many things about past times. Don't inscriptions resemble people from ancient times? If we call them witnesses of the past, we would not be saying anything empty: a scholar who has been dealing with inscriptions throughout his life keeps thinking about the many historical events that took place in front of the eyes of these stones. Thus, the inscription enables us to come into direct contact with history. In fact, ancient times erected them with this intention: they wanted the inscription not only to be a silent monument, but also to greet the passing traveler, to tell him something, and to be able to answer the questions that came to his mind.
