Ossuary has inner ledge on three sides and flat lid. Height describes height of chest plus that of lid. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of a frieze of eight semi-circles above a lattice pattern. The inscription begins in the semi-circle third from the right, and continues through two more semi-circles. This creates the three columns, which read vertically. מרתה is a common name; יהוספ appears in the plene spelling common at the time. The yod of יעקב is continued from the right upright of the heh of יהוספ, which is directly above it. The place "Hin," in Naveh's reading, is probably the origin of the husband of the deceased, though it could be that of the deceased herself. Two possible identifications exist: Hini in Babylonia, near Kufa, which by mention in Talmudic literature is known to have been a Jewish community in the first half of the third century CE; and Bet Hini, approximately 25 km east of Caesarea, which was identified with the village Ἁnin mentioned in the Babylonian Talmud in the late-third to early-fourth centuries. The inclusion of a grandparent's name on an ossuary is infrequent.
