זה בית מדרשו שהלרבי אליעזר הקפר

This is the Beth Midrash (=School) of the Rabbi Eli'ezer ha-Qappar.

זה בית מדרשו שהלרבי אליעזר הקפר

Rabbi Eli'ezer ha-Qappar (Aramaic Bar-Qappara) was a famous Tannaitic sage. His period of activity dates this inscription to the late second or early third centuries CE. The ornamentation is engraved in relief. On either side of the stone, an eagle with outstretched wings bears a snake in its mouth. In the middle, the snakes intertwine to form a plaited wreath. The first three lines of the inscription are contained within the wreath, אליעזר to the right (above the snakes's body) and הקפר to the left (above the second snake's body). Dimensions refer to the entire remainder of the stone.
