ἸωνάθηςΣελασίωνΜάρθας

Jonathan. Selasion, daughter of Martha

Ἰωνάθης Σελασίων Μάρθας

Worn and damaged ossuary has inner lege on thre sides and flat, sliding lid. The name Ἰωνάθης appears on the chest's right side; the woman's name Selasion, a contraction of Salamsion that also occurs as שלציון, appears on the edge of the lid. The final sigma of Μάρθας is conjectural: the character closely resembles a tau, but the stone is broken, prohibiting a definitive reading. Ἰωνάθης, more commonly spelled Ἰωνάθας, occurs in the Septuagint and Josephus and is recorded in Murabba'at.
