Ossuary has low feet and flat lid. Corresponding pairs of holes are drilled through the edges of the lid and the chest's rim, two each on front and back sides and one each on left and right sides. Finely incised, short guidelines from the lid to the rim mark the location for drilling. The holes are clearly not outlets for body secretions or for the establishment of contact between body and soil (in accordance with Jerusalem Talmud), as on other ossuaries. These holes seem intended for closure, perhaps with iron rivets. No such rivets were found here; perhaps the holes were never used or rope was used for closure and has since disintegrated. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of two metopes in zigzag frames, each containing a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle, with zigzags overlaying petals. Ornamentation on the left and right sides is similar; a zigzag frame contains a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle. The name is inscribed once each on the chest's back side and on the lid; the latter יהועזר is spelled with two ligatures, of heh and vav and of ῾ayin and zayin. Two men in this family bore the name "Goliath," which has negative connotations among Jews; such derogatory nicknames, often alluding to a physical characteristic, may have originated as terms of abuse but become accepted family names. Repetition of the name of the deceased may express grief of the mourner(s) or improve upon an unsatisfactory first inscription.
