Notes
This fragment may have been part of a lintel. The inscription consists only of two names (Simon and Justinus). In an epitaph or dedication, we would expect to see the second of these names in the genitive form (yielding "X son of Y"), but this is not the case here. Both names are commonly Jewish, and both suggest a date in the late third or fourth centuries C.E.
