Sažetak
Based on a detailed analysis and direct insight into the preserved fragments which originally belonged to it, the article relates new insights about the entablature of the Pre-Romanesque altar screen whose pieces
were found on or near the site Crkvina in Šopot near Benkovac. It partially corrects previous suggestions of the appearance of the entablature itself, as well as some of its parts, and gives new possibilities for its reading or restitution of its wondrous and very meaningful dedication which mentions Branimir as the Duke of the Croats.
Having all of this in mind, the author believes that only about a quarter of the original dedication from the altar screen from Šopot has been discovered and concedes with the familiar belief that it certainly
had large dimensions, as well as the conclusion that an altar screen of that size could not have fit in the small church whose foundation was discovered at site Crkvina below Grubića glavica. Because of this it
is assumed that the discussed fragments of the Šopot entablature were transported to that location later on during the Late Middle Ages from a close, yet unidentified location in Šopot. The entablature most likely
adorned the interior of a larger Pre-Romanesque church or an early Christian church that was renovated during the rule of Duke Branimir.
