A similar inscription stands on the second tower south of the gate:
† ΠΥΡΓΟΣ ΘΕΟΦΙΛΟΥ ΕΝ ΧΡΙΣΤΩ ΑΥΤΟΚΑΤΟΡΟΣ †[[630]]
“Tower of Theophilus, Emperor in Christ.”
Fragmentary inscriptions to the same effect are seen on the third, sixth, seventh, and ninth towers south of Deïrmen Kapoussi.
In addition to these inscriptions, copies of others which have disappeared are preserved by Von Hammer, in the appendix to his work, Constantinopolis und Bosporos.[[631]]
The Gate of St. Barbara (Top Kapoussi) bore the inscription:
ΘΕΟΦΙΛΟΣ ... ΕΚΑΙΝΙΣΑΣ ΠΟΛΙΝ.
“Theophilus ... having renovated the city.”
