Update on Megiddo Mosaic

Here are the other two inscriptions translated:
MNHMONEUSATE
PRIMILLHS KAI
KURIAKHS KAI
DWROQEASETI
DE KAI CRHSTHS"

Remember Primilles and Kuriake and Dorothea, moreover also Chreste.

"GAIANOS O KA[I]
PORFURIS CR
ADELFOS HMWN [...?]
TEIMHSAMENOS
EK TWN IDIWN[#]
EYHFOLOGHSEN.
broutis hrgas(ato)."

Gaianos, also known as Porfuris, our brother in Christ ...
(honouring/honoured?) had this mosaic made from his own money.
Broutis carriedout the work.
(A few letters, upper right edge, may be missing) ([#] is a heart or a leaf)
