He mentions the Mount Offence ossuaries discovered by M. Clermont-Ganneau in 1873, and the fact that these contained Hebrew inscriptions of the names Salome, Judah, Simeon son of Jesus, Martha, Eleazar, and Greek inscriptions for Jesus, Nathaniel, Hedea, Kythras, Moschas, and Marias. This caused a sensation at the time because it was a tomb located near Bethany that had the names of Jesus, Martha, Mary, and Lazarus (as Eleazar) together in one place. Perhaps this should be a cautionary tale for today. The same article also discusses the 1931 discovery by Sukenik of the <I>other</I> "Jesus son of Joseph" ossuary, and provides two photos of the ossuary and its <I>yshw` br yhwsp</I> inscription.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058076626975877782.post-57859007275270880392007-03-13T16:28:00.000-07:002007-03-13T16:28:00.000-07:00Thanks much, Peter.

If Ilan's catalogue wrongly ascribed the inscribed names to the "Mt. of Offense" site (presumably <I>Dominus Flevit</I>), then the names' absence from Rahmani's listings would make sense. I can't read enough of the gif of the <A HREF="http://biblelight.net/DF-pg-108.gif" REL="nofollow">Bagatti report</A> to know if it clears up the (well, my) confusion.Bruce N.
