<div type="commentary">
<p>While no date is preserved within the text, the inscription has been tentatively dated to the fifth or sixth century CE on the strength of other factors. 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 rectangular tombstone is broken at its top right and bottom left. Its inscribed face has undergone significant weathering, and also suffers from a buildup of salt, sand and lichen. All of this has contributed to a loss of text. The text is engraved. The author notes that the inscription ends with the first verse of Psalm 24, and observes that this same verse is quoted in other inscriptions from the area. She also notes that both names mentioned in the inscription are also attested elsewhere in Ghor es-Safi..</p>
