NOAH’S BOX? This scene from Genesis 7:9 graces the floor of a building—likely a church or synagogue—at Mopsuestia in modern Turkey. Surrounded by animals, Noah’s ark appears as a box on four legs. The Greek text reads, “ΚΙΒΩΤΟΣ ΝΩΕ Ρ,” meaning either “the ark of Noah the R[edeemer]” or “the r[edeeming] ark of Noah.”
