Room 11 ~ The "No Gentiles Allowed"
inscription
Exhibit 11a- The "No Gentiles Allowed"
Inscription. Surrounding the outside of the "azarah" courtyard
was a low wooden fence. There were markers written in Greek and Latin
stating: No gentile is allowed within the wall surrounding the sanctuary
nor the enclosed courtyard. Anyone apprehended doing so is at the risk of
taking his own life in his hands. This fragment is presently in the
Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, Turkey.
