ΑΛΚΙΟΥ תחמגזר

Of Alkaios. Boundary of Gezer

ΑΛΚΙΟΥ תחמגזר

This inscription was discovered on a flat rock on the tel in Gazara, which is located about midway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, close to Modi'in. The inscription was engraved on two lines, the Greek above the Hebrew. The Greek letters were also engraved upside-down. Though there are no spaces between the Hebrew letters, they have been divided into two words: תחום גזר, which translates as the boundary of Gezer. This inscription is the best preserved out of the other eight inscriptions also found at the site.
