Dimensions: 60 x 108 cm; Letter Height: 1.5-2 cm. ed. IIP dabb0005 עבד תרעה '[...] made the gate' "[...] hat das Tor gestiftet." Beyer 1984: 396 (ooDA4) commentary: The name of the builder/founder was probably mentioned at the beginning. The decoration suggests that this lintel was part of a synagogue.
