יהועזר בר אלעזר Ἐλεάζαρος

Yeho'ezer, son of El'azar. Eleazar

יהועזר בר אלעזר Ἐλεάζαρος

Slightly damaged ossuary has inner ledge on three sides and low feet. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of a three-columned (fluted?) porch with a leaf (and dart?) frieze. Each intercolumnar spaces contains a branch-formed whirl rosette within a line circle, with a six-petalled rosette at its center. Two pairs of juxtaposed semi-circles link the right-hand circle to the frame. Aramaic is inscribed on the chest's front side, in upper-left corner; Greek is inscribed on the chest's right side. Only the remains of a 25-35-year-old man were found in the ossuary, but the presence of the lone patronymic "Eleazar" may suggest that both father and son were interred there.
