Summary/Abstract: Publication of a late 3rd century AD fragment of an Early Christian sarcophagus in the Charles University collection. The subject depicted is unusual, but it represents most probably the Baptism in Jordan, with a figure of philosopher, documenting that the change of Jesus to Christ by the baptism was also part of prophecy of Greek philosophers.
