Commentary
The same name is recorder in the funerary inscription of Rabbi Abun in nearby Qasrin (https://epi-identity-database.uw.edu.pl/inscription/211). Both inscriptions were linked together what is possible but not certain. Later another Aramaic inscription, mentioning Shimon son of Abun, was found on a sarcophagus lid in En Nashot itself. The name Yose is also attested at this site, as there is a Greek inscription on another sarcophagus lid which commemorates one Yose son of Zanno.
