| Summary: | The Annenberg Research Institute possesses a marble plaque containing the Greek epitaph of a Jewish man or boy, probably from the 4th-5th centuries CE, possibly from Palestine. Among the noteworthy features of this brief but enigmatic text is the appearance of two personal names not previously attested in either the Jewish or the Greco-Roman onomastica: Kolokasios and the feminine name Theodotous. It is proposed that the inscription be translated as follows: "Grave of Jeremias Kolokasios. Iose and Theodotous (made this) for their son." |
