ΜανάημοςΣίμων

Manahem. Simon

Μανάημος Σίμων

Ossuary has traces of red wash, low feet, and a flat, broken lid. Ornamentation on the chest's front side consists of two metopes in zigzag frames and a triglyph replaced by a palm tree. Zigzag semi-circles indicate roots and ascending branches. Each metope contains a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle, with zigzags overlaying petals and linking circles to corners of metopes. Ornamentation on the chest's left side is similar; a zigzag frame contains a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle. The right side bears a lattice pattern in red wash. First name appears on the left edge of the chest's front side, incised vertically; second name appears on the right side. Either the deceased had a double name or Σίμων was mistakenly carved here, intended for another ossuary from the tomb bearing the name (see inscription "jeri0010"). Hachlili discusses some parallels for Μανάημος (see bibliography); additionally, the name occurs on another ossuary, in the Dead Sea documents, Josephus, and Talmudic literature as early as Hillel the Elder's time.
