The Chișinău Diocesan Girls' School opened its doors on May 3, 1864, addressing a pressing need: in Bessarabia there were no institutions dedicated to the education of clergy's daughters. According to the 1864 circular, teaching was conducted in the Romanian language, a provision applied throughout the diocese. The school's first headmistress was Anastasia Rizo, of noble origin, invited by Archbishop Antonie.
The curriculum, approved by the Ministry of Public Education and the Chișinău Diocese, combined theoretical subjects with practical training. Students studied religion, reading and writing in Romanian, Slavonic, and Russian, arithmetic and exercises in calculation, world history and geography. The program was complemented by church singing and practical skills such as sewing, embroidery, knitting, as well as household management - baking bread and prosphora, preparing meals and preserves, caring for livestock, and cultivating gardens.
The composite, taken in 1911 at the studio of Z. N. Sumovski in Chișinău, depicts 29 graduates and 13 teachers. At the center are portraits of Bishop Serafim (Ciciagov), headmistress N. R. Mihelson, teacher V. E. Bejerian, and priests F. Ghiliarov and P. Jurikas. Among the teaching staff was Paraskovia Vasilievna Cuciurenko, a calligraphy teacher for 37 years, who in 1911 became senior educator and assistant headmistress. For her dedication, she was awarded the gold medal "For Long Service."
On the reverse of the vignette is a label from the store and workshop of frames, paintings, mirrors, and window glass owned by A. D. Kon'gova, Chișinău, Gogol Street no. 37, near the State Bank.
This graduation composite was donated at the end of 2025 to the National Museum of History of Moldova by the Dadiștian family from Drochia.

Еще два (возможных) кельтских имени из Римской Дакии
В статье рассматриваются два имени, сохранившихся на бронзовых изделиях, которые найдены на территории Римской Дакии. Штемпель Talio f(ecit) обнаружен на изделии, созданном в Галлии и найденном в Тыргу-Секуеск. Хотя издатели этого текста (IDR III/4, 331) полагали, что имя Talio может быть греческим, лингвистический анализ – вкупе с экстралингвистическими свидетельствами – дает достаточно основа- ний интерпретировать его как галльское. Сложнее обстоит дело с другим штампом, найденном в Рэкэ- тэу на изделии, которое прямо ассоциируется с римской областью Кампанией. Хотя в Кампании известны десятки кельтских имен (в том числе и на штампах бронзовых изделий), к тому же, имя Oppius может иметь кельтскую этимологию, было бы не совсем корректным безоговорочно соотносить его с галльскими языковыми остатками – опять таки, учитывая многие экстралингвистические данные. Поэтому имя на этом штемпеле рассматривается лишь как «потенциально кельтское». Что же касается идентичного имени в надписи из Горня (IDR III/1, 29), которая не содержит дополнительных кельтских ассоциаций, то его нецелесообразно включать в корпус кельтских имен, известных с территории Дакии.
