The Graffito of Esmet-Akhom depicts the god Mandulis, accompanied with a text hoping the inscription will last forever. It seems the engraver got their wish 1/2

Fragment of a Floor Mosaic with a Personification of Ktisis
Byzantine, 500β550, with modern restoration.
The following text is from The Met where you can view this mosaic:
The bejeweled woman, holding the measuring tool for the Roman foot, is identified by the restored Greek inscription as Ktisis, a figure personifying the act of generous donation or foundation. The man with a cornucopia, originally one of a pair flanking her, has the Greek inscription βgoodβ by his head, half of a text that probably said, βgood wishes.β The fragment, made of marble and glass tesserae (small pieces of colored material), is typical of the exceptional mosaics created throughout the Byzantine world in the 500s. The Metropolitan Museum, after acquiring the two figures independently, has restored them in accordance with a dealerβs photograph showing their original arrangement while in storage before separation.
An exceptional Byzantine mosaic made of marble & glass tesserae showing Ktisis who personifies the act of generous donation, c. 500.
