'The Interior Courtyard: The Heart of Cimitile/Nola' Journal of Early Christian Studies 12/4 (2004), 443-479. Note 51: "The first inscription of ep. 32 describes and interprets the contents of this mosaic (ep. 32.10). The mosaic was built around standard symbols: the hand of the Father, the dove representing the Holy Spirit, the lamb representing Christ, the four rivers representing the evangelists, the cross, palms, etc. Paulinus' inscription indicates a total absence of human figures."
