<div type="commentary" ana="b1">
<p>Damaged ossuary has low feet. Height describes that of chest plus that of vaulted lid
with fingergrips. Ornamentation on the chest's front side consists of two metopes in
zigzag frames doubled at top, and a broadened triglyph containing a palm-trunk motif.
Each metope contains a twelve-petalled rosette within a zigzag circle. The Greek
letters, appearing on the chest's right side, are enigmatic, though Tzaferis
interpreted two similar inscriptions that also occur on ossuaries from Mount Scopus'
western slope as the initials of the deceased (see inscriptions "jeru0121" and
"jeru0122"). Aramaic inscription appears on the chest's back side. שלום is a
contraction of the female name שלומציון. The name אמס is probably a form of אמץ, a
contraction of אמצי, itself a contraction of אמציה. Forms of the latter two are found
in Greek in the Septuagint. The spelling here seems to be a transliteration from one
of those Greek forms, perhaps Ἀμασαί or Ἀμασέ, rather than the original Semitic
contraction. Other examples of Graecized forms of Hebrew names transliterated into
Jewish script exist.</p>
