He discovered not the true cross but the titulus of the true cross - and his research confirmed to him that it was the real deal and not a faked relic.

This is interesting. I heard talk of this relic back in the 1979-1980 era. I heard a Eygptian archaologist who was in Rome say that he was very impressed by its significance. He had a lot of experience with looking at ancient texts and papyrus. Yet, he said, the religious authorities responsible for the relic did not seem to want it examined or put on display.
Later, the author David Sox, included mention of this relic in his book, Relics and Shrines.
