More from Bauckham on the Talpiot Tomb B inscription

RICHARD BAUCKHAM has posted A New Interpretation of the Greek Ossuary Inscription in Talpiyot Tomb B at Mark Goodacre's New Testament Blog. If he is right, the inscription just consists of a couple of names. We'll see what the response is from Greek paleographers, but meanwhile remember a good rule of thumb is that the more banal reading is to be preferred.
