חניה על נפשה א Ɐ

...] Honya[h...... for him]self [... ’ Ɐ

For the name חניה (Honya) see Mger0058. The leftmost sign on this line appears to be a mason's mark. Marking by means of two letters for purposes other than as mason's marks is known from Masada, where potsherds were found with pairs of letters belonging to different alphabets, for example, a Hebrew letter and a Greek letter, or a Hebrew letter and a Jewish letter. Naveh called them "seals" and conjectured that they w ere used as a kind of food stamp.
