(Larry Hurtado):  Over on my own blog site I’ve posted about an article surveying nomina sacra in graffiti and a mosaic found in several early Christian sites, at least one of which is confidently dated to the early 3rd century:  http://larryhurtado.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/nomina-sacra-in-early-graffiti-and-a-mosaic/

Here’s the article cited: James R. Wicker, “Pre-Constantinian Nomina Sacra in a Mosaic and Church Graffiti,” Southwestern Journal of Theology 52, no. 1 (2009): 52-72.
