| Summary: | This note publishes a Greek inscription engraved above the entrance door of the Absalom's tomb-memorial in the Valley of Jehoshaphat. The Byzantines changed this funerary monument into the tomb of the High Priest Zachariah, father of John the Baptist and martyr, assimilating him to the priest Zachariah, son of Yehoyada/Barachiah, who was murdered in the temple. They also placed beside him the tomb of the righteous Simeon, a tradition which lasted over a millennium until after the Crusaders' stay in Jerusalem. |
