Text Content

Modern Title	Late Aramaic Ostracon of Unknown Provenance.
Summary of Content	The ostracon is written in a cursive Late Aramaic script. Its provenance cannot be determined based on ceramic analysis. It may come from Egypt, but it's precise origin is unknown. It is highly unlikely that this comes from Elephantine. For discussion of the difficulty of identifying the provenance of the "X" collection, see Lozachmeur.
