This one is not the Siloam Tunnel inscription, but the Royal Steward
inscription. For Siloam, see instead
http://fontes.lstc.edu/~rklein/images/sil1.jpg for a picture and
http://fontes.lstc.edu/~rklein/images/sil2.jpg for a line drawing; the
latter seems identical to the line drawing in the introduction to GKC
(Gesenius' Hebrew grammar).

Same dot edu site, Peter. Took all of three minutes to locate it via google.image and another two minutes to take a quick look at three inscriptions... so, nu, I picked up the second one to send out instead of the first. Point was to point him to the site because, as I said, Kline's site has images of darn near every early NW Semitic inscription.

Many thanks for the correction..

See also
http://www.kchanson.com/ANCDOCS/westsem/siloam.html for another picture.

Yes, I know Dr. Hanson's site. The Kline site has more images.

Thanks again,
