It contained ten ossuaries, six of them with epigraphs, including one with the inscription that has been interpreted as "Yeshua bar Yehosef" ("Jesus, son of Joseph"), though this text is not well-formed (i.e. sloppy) and highly disputed. The tomb also yielded various human remains and several carvings.
