Epigraph (Gr. epi, 'upon,' and graphō, 'I write'), a terse inscription placed upon architectural or other monuments, for the purpose of denoting their use or appropriation, and very frequently worked in and forming part of their ornamental details. See INSCRIPTIONS; and E. S. Roberts, Introduction to Greek Epigraphy (Cambridge Univ. Press, 1888).
