Ossuary has inner ledge on four sides and low feet. Height describes that of chest plus that of gabled lid with fingergrips. Ἀναίνας is a variant of Ἀνίνας/חנינא, occurring frequently in Talmudic literature and at Bet She'arim. Ἀναίνας appears on the front of the lid; Ἀνίνας appears on its back and on the front side of the chest. It is fairly common for names to appear in more than one form on the same ossuary. Repetition of the name of the deceased may express grief of the mourner(s) or improve upon an unsatisfactory first inscription.
