בר חדוחדן

(Son) of Haddu (Haddan?)

בר חדוחדן

Fragmentary, partially reconstructed ossuary. Height describes that of chest plus that of broken vaulted lid. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of three metopes in line frames, each containing a six-petalled rosette within concentric line circles, with lines linking circles to corners of frames. The name is difficult to read, but the element חד, meaning "sharp, keen," is paralleled in names of Safaitic, Palmyrene, and pre-Islamic Arabic origin, as well as in Greek as Αδδος.
