A Roman boundary stone from the Tetrarchic period of the late third century AD has been found in Northern Israel. Centuries later, it was used as a burial stone on a Mamluk grave (AD 1250-1517).

The stone mentions a previously unknown imperial surveyor (censitor) and two previously unknown towns.

Translation:

Diocletian and Maximian Augusti, and Constantius and Maximian, Caesars, have ordered this stone to be set up, marking boundaries of fields of Tirthas (and) Golgol/m; Baseileikos, vir perfectissimus (supervised).
