Abstract
An inscription, engraved on the Doric architrave of the distylos in antis facade of the Second Temple period burial cave at Tel Arza, renders a Hebrew name, possibly the tomb owner. The characters are a mix of Latin and Greek. Although Latin inscriptions are rare, they are not unknown in Jewish inscriptions of the Second Temple period.
