E04556Greek, Arabic, and Christian-Palestinian Aramaic inscriptions and visitors' graffiti from a cave chapel dedicated to *Salome (probably the apocryphal Salome who assisted Mary at the birth of Christ, S02982; or perhaps *Salome the follower of Jesus, S01819) at Ḥorvat Qaṣra near ancient Eleutheropolis, in the Judean Hills (Roman province of Palaestina I). Probably of the late antique and early Arab periods.
