The Inscriptions of Israel/Palestine project seeks to build an internet-accessible database of published inscriptions from Israel/Palestine dated ca. 500 BCE to 614 CE. This timespan roughly corresponds to the Persian, Greek, and Roman periods. Our database will make accessible the approximately 10,000 inscriptions published to date and will include substantial contextual information for these inscriptions, including images and geographic information. We tag our data according to Epidoc conventions.

ΣΙΜΩΝ ΙΟΥΣΤΙΝΟΣ

Σίμων Ἰουστῖνος

Simon Justinus

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.
