The inscription provides the date as the 21st day of the month Apellaios in the year 279 according to the Era of the Province of Arabia, that is, December 7, 384 CE. The tombstone is one of about 700 discovered in Byzantine Zoora. The majority of the Greek tombstones from this location have been identified as Christian. The tombstone, which is almost rectangular in shape, is broken at the lower right corner. The smoothed inscribed surface is flaked in the right, upper, and lower sides. The text is written with engraved oval script, which was painted in red paint. There are two cross-rho figures on the tombstone, both painted in red paint. Traces of one appear above the text, while another below the text is more easily discernible. A chain-like pattern appears at the end of line eight, which consists of eight connected red painted circles. The age and year numerals in line five and the month numeral in line seven are denoted by horizontal bars above them. In line five, μηνὸς is abbreviated with an elongated μ and a smaller η engraved above it. The month day numeral sign ζιʹ is inverted in line six. The inscription contains grammatical and spelling errors. A small red cross is engraved between lines five and six in the middle of the tombstone. The word οὐδεὶς is omitted in line seven though enough room is present. The name Ζεβίνας or Ζαβίνας is a transliteration of a Semitic name deriving from the root zbn, "to buy," making it similar in meaning to ἀγοραστός, "chattel." Although Syrians originally used this word as a derogatory nickname for Alexander II, it later became a popular personal name. Based on the identical patronymic and the reasonable span of ages, it is likely that Oummabie and the Valentinus commemorated in zoor0045 were brother and sister. The author notes that the name Oummabie is attested relatively frequently in different forms in Byzantine Zoora.
