Cave 1 & Inscription

View of the entrance to the southern most of the two caves along the lower line that bear inscriptions.

Just to the left of the (broken) entranceway note the inscription carved into the limestone. It reads, from right to left, TBWH (= Tobiah)—the name of the family that had an estate here.
