Abstract

A Nabataean funerary inscription engraved on a limestone slab was found in secondary use in the 1999–2000 excavations in the Roman army camp at ‘Avedat. The inscription consists of two incomplete lines framed by a tabula ansata. The extant text mentions a tomb and the name of the father of the deceased. It is the first Nabataean funerary inscription discovered in the Negev.
