A foot fragment, P 22998 Archaeology, XIII, 1960, p. 238, right, has an inscription incised on the top: ΣΙΜΩΝΟΣ. If this belonged to Simon, the shoemaker, as Mrs. Thompson suggests, ibid., it presumably indicates re-use, most likely as a door knocker; and the finding of it in the street is pertinent.
