Notes

Broken and reconstructed ossuary with very irregular height has low feet and a flat lid. The name מריה is a contracted, Graecized form of מרים. Another ossuary from the tomb, bearing the name Yose, is similar to this one in form and inscription and may belong to the husband of Marya (see inscription "jeru0200"). Yose's son and grandson also may have ossuaries in the tomb (see inscriptions "jeru0197" and "jeru0199").
