On both pieces there is a man figure with beard trying to catch the dinner. The time shown by the sundial on the scene was described by the inscription taking place on one of the pieces. Sundials apart from the ones at Hatay Museum take place on the scenes described by the scientists or philosophers who are engaged in scientific studies. The sundial described on the mosaic in Trier among the samples of Hatay Museum pieces and others differ from the others. The sundial described here must most probably be a model belonging to a time in which sundials just improved in Hellen world. Moreover, this sundial must be a model used not to determine the time but to observe the movements of the sun. Descriptions of sundials other than Trier sample are the samples taking place on the models of Vitruvius and those gained the identity of these complex tools.

The Abgar Dynasty, the major power in the region, overthrew Seleukos's control and regained independence in the region in132 BCE. Family members depicted together and at ease in mosaics of the royal period symbolize the importance of peace within the family and family unity. Of the figures portrayed next to the genearch, the wife is the most striking individual with her dignified pose. Family mosaics indicate that whole family will be together after death as they were in life. A Phoenix and two Orpheus mosaics found in the region also support the pagan notion of a new life after death.
