A Second Temple Period Registration Tag from the City of David (‘Ir David), Siloam Road
(Hebrew, pp. 87*–88*; English summary, p. 139)
Ronny Reich
Keywords: Jerusalem, epigraphy, ink, measurement, volume
The excavation in the southeastern part of the City of David yielded a body fragment of a clay jar bearing a Hebrew inscription. The inscription seems to represent the agricultural produce of dried figs, probably from one of the many agricultural farms that existed around Jerusalem in the late Second Temple period.
