יהקים

Yehoqim

יהקים

Ossuary has inner ledge on two sides, yellow wash, low feet, and a flat, broken lid resting on the rim. Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of a line frame at base and doubled zigzag frames at top and sides, containing two metopes and a broadened triglyph. Triglyph is bordered by vertical lines and contains a seventeen-leaved branch; each metope contains a six-petalled rosette within concentric line circles. The two-line inscription appears on the chest's left side; the first line seems to be an unsuccessful attempt corrected in the second. The two were presumably written by different hands. The name יהקים is probably a contraction of יהויקים, Yehoyaqim, which was also contracted as יוקים ,יוקם, and יהוקם, identical with the Second Temple period name יקים/Ἰάκιμος.
