In A.D. 347, the Anno Domini system of dating had not yet been invented. So no one would have used it--and they would not have used Arabic numerals on a cornerstone. If they tried to date it they would have counted from the foundation of Rome (753 B.C.) or used the names of the consuls of the year.

Fair point, and after Rome officially became Christian in 380 A.D., and the Roman empire fell in 476 A.D. would a fervent Christian date his new house as I477 or AVC1231?
