It seems to be a piece in a private collection of Erich Lessing.

I am very interested in finding more info on this.

Ok, I’ll bite. :-)

It’s a conspiracy to make popular modernists think that Yeshua was a very rare name in the 1CE. And, then to read the CEV to find out if it’s true.

This one is curious, because it seems to have not four but five letters- if the little nick on the right side is a “Yod.” In that case it should possibly be read “Yoshua.” In any event, all these “Yeshuas” may be just commemorative of Jesus, whose ossuary reads Yeshua bar Yehosef

It looks like most of these are in Israel, not Vienna.

I searched there for ages but didn’t find this.

Here’s the link: http://www.lessing-photo.com/slideshow.asp?sid=S2IX19Z9EK&qid=Q2IX1A14HI&cr=0&p=1&d=3&page=1

It’s rather enigmatic.

Aramaic inscription on an ossuary: “Jesus” (around 100 CE)
Private Collection (T.E.L.), Vienna, Austria
08-05-06/32 (c) Photograph by Erich Lessing

There are 277 photographs in the Lessing archive labeled “Private Collection (T.E.L.), Vienna, Austria,” but I can’t seem to find out what “T.E.L.” means. Initials of the owner, perhaps?

It’s just the Yeshua inscription that I’m interested in. I’ll try to get a copy of it up.
