Ἰοσὲ Λεάζαρος

Jose (son of?) Leazaros

Ἰοσὲ Λεάζαρος

Irregularly carved ossuary has low feet and a flat lid. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of two metopes in zigzag frames and a broadened and bare triglyph. Each metope contains a six-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle. Inscription appears on the chest's right side. Ἰοσέ is a variant spelling of Ἰωσή, which is parallel to the יוסי frequent in Talmudic literature. Λεάζαρος is a variant of ליעזר more commonly transliterated as Λάζαρος, as in Luke and Josephus. The name is in the nominative and might be the second half of a double name, but it is more likely the name of Jose's father.
