Summary[edit]

  • English: Istanbul - Archaeological Museum. Inscription Found in the Siloam Aqueduct. Picture by: Giovanni Dall'Orto, May 28 2006.
    The inscription contains 6 lines, of which the first is damaged. The words are separated by dots. Only the word zada on the third line is of doubtful translation - perhaps a crack or a weak part.

The passage reads:

[] the tunnel [ ] and this is the story of the tunnel while [ ]
the axes were against each other and while three cubits were left to cut? [ ] the voice of a man [ ]
called to his counterpart, [for] there was ZADA in the rock, on the right [ ] and on the day of the
tunnel (being finished) the stonecutters struck each man towards his counterpart, ax against ax and flowed
water from the source to the pool for 1200 cubits. and 100?
cubits was the height over the head of the stonecutters [ ]

The inscription hence records the construction of the tunnel.
