Ezana Stone

The Ezana Stone (TM 103010 ) is a 4th century AD trilingual stele in Ethiopian, South Arabian and Greek, reporting the conversion of Ezana, an Ethiopian king, to christianity by Saint Frumentius, a freed slave. Ezana reigned over Aksum from 330 to 356, and conquered various regions including Meroe, as is also related in the text. The stele still stands in Aksum today.
