Jesus??? tablet was inscribed in the three languages commonly used in the district, Hebrew (Aramaic), Greek, and Latin, and its text, dictated by Pilate, read substantially as follows (?? 122): ???Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews???.

Mark (15:23) speaks of ???wine mixed with myrrh???, which seems the most correct expression. Matthew (27:34) speaks of ???wine mixed with gall???. Perhaps this last was a generic term denoting any bitters, including myrrh. It may also be that the Greek translator of the Aramaic Matthew rendered mora, ???myrrh???, for merorah, ???gall???, perhaps echoing the Messianic Psalm 69:22 (Hebrew).
