Description
Summary:To ascertain who made use of amulets with Samaritan inscriptions in Roman-Byzantine times, the context in which the amulets are found is decisive. The presently available evidence points to Christians and Jews as wearers rather than Samaritans.

Les indices disponibles actuellement renvoient aux Chrétiens et aux Juifs plutôt qu'aux Samaritains. Dès lors, pour considérer un site comme samaritain, les amulettes portant des inscriptions samaritaines ne suffisent pas, d'autres preuves sont requises.
