for example, in Roman Britain the phrase is only known from one inscription, the original of which is now lost! The text refers to the restoration of a shrine of Jupiter Optimus Maximus of Doliche.

There are also some interesting idiosyncrasies to this inscription, such as the opening IN H(onorem) D(omus) D(ivinae). This phraseology is common in inscriptions from the Rhineland, but is notably uncommon in Roman inscriptions elsewhere.
