Ossuary has inner edge on three sides and a flat, sliding lid that is broken. Name is inscribed on the underside of the lid. Probably a variation of the Greek name Μάρης, derived from the Semitic מר, "Lord," and spelled Μαρεις in early-second century CE Egypt. Kloner, however, interprets the name as a variant of the Greek word μερίς, "part," as a translation from חלק, "part," a contraction of the name חלקיהו.
