„Ce second supplément des Inscriptiones Daciae Romanae représente, tout comme le premier, une préparation à la publication des fascicules du quatrième volume des IDR, contenant les inscriptions de Dacie Porolissensis. Il comprend la grande majorité des estampilles sur briques et tuiles du Musée National d’Histoire de Transylvanie de Cluj-Napoca. Malheureusement, pour des raisons techniques, nous n’avons pas eu accès aux pièces prêtées en 1971 au Musée National d’Histoire de Roumanie de Bucarest, lors de la constitution de celui-ci1. Au fil de plusieurs années Mme Viorica Rusu Bolindeț avait apporté dans le dépôt du musée des dizaines de tuiles estampillées du prétoire du consulaire d’Apulum, mais on n’a pas pu agréer aucune solution afin de citer son manuscrit. Du point de vue scientifique la perte n’est pas grande, car il s’agit de types bien connus, publiés dans IDR III/6. En revanche, nous remercions chaleureusement Mme Adriana Isac pour nous avoir permis d’utiliser toutes les pièces provenant du camp de Gilău, dont certaines inédites. Au début de 1997 des tuiles estampillées représentatives ont été envoyées au musée de Zalău en vue d’une exposition illustrant la vie militaire dans le nord de Dacie. Elles n’ont plus été restituées. Afin d’éviter des problèmes administratifs, on les a inclues dans le premier supplément, qui contient les inscriptions sur les briques et les tuiles du musée de Zalău. Le présent volume ne représente pas moins un catalogue du musée de Cluj.” (Prooemium)

„Imnele care împodobesc slujbele Bisericii Ortodoxe sunt creaţii ale unor Sfinţi Părinţi ai Bisericii, cei mai mulţi trăitori în partea bizantină a primului mileniu al creştinătăţii încă nedivizate. După un alt mileniu de istorie zbuciumată a Bisericii, până astăzi, imnele marilor colecţii liturgice ca Octoihul, Triodul, Penticostarul şi Mineiele păstrează nealterată amintirea unei perioade esenţiale pentru structurarea învăţăturii de credinţă. Este perioada Sinoadelor Ecumenice, a marilor personalităţi care au ilustrat secolele patristice şi care au lăsat o perenă creaţie, atât de expresie mai teoretică, dar şi imnografică.” Vasile Grăjdian

“Starting with the early 1970s Fântânele (Bistrița-Năsăud County) has been a well-known site in the archaeological literature referring to the Migration Period and Early Middle Ages in Transylvania. Although the excavations carried out on the hill called Dealul Popii or Dâmbul Popii by the research team lead by Ion Horaţiu Crişan have never been published exhaustively, the site was included in several synthesis works on the topic of the archaeological material from Transylvania belonging to the Migration Period, respectively to the 6th–7th centuries. The main goal of the present volume is to fill this gap by publishing all the known data regarding the mentioned discoveries based on the original documentation (written and drawn record) on one hand, and on the grave-goods identified with a few exceptions in the Institute of Archaeology and Art History, Cluj-Napoca, on the other hand.” (Foreword)
