Two of these tablets have been found.[3] A complete tablet was discovered in 1871 by Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau and published by the Palestine Exploration Fund.[1] Following the discovery of the inscription, it was taken by the Ottoman authorities, and it is currently in the Istanbul Archaeology Museums. A partial fragment of the inscription was found in 1936 by J. H. Iliffe in Jerusalem's Lions' Gate, and is held in the Israel Museum.[1][3] InscriptionThe inscription was a warning to pagan visitors to the temple not to proceed further. Both Greek and Latin inscriptions on the temple's balustrade served as warnings to pagan visitors not to proceed under penalty of death.[4][8] Two authentic tablets have been found, one complete, and the other a partial fragment with missing sections, but with letters showing signs of the red paint that had originally highlighted the text.[5] It was described by the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1872 as being "very nearly in the words of Josephus".[6][7][8] The inscription uses three terms referring to temple architecture:[9]

ForgeriesSeveral forgeries were promptly prepared following the 1871 discovery.[12] Clermont-Ganneau was shown a similar artifact at the Monastery of St Saviour, which was later shown to be a forgery created by Martin Boulos.[13] References1. ^1 2 [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7MK_spizMQwC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA42 Corpus Inscriptionum Iudaeae/Palaestinae, Jerusalem, Part 1], Walter de Gruyter, 2010, {{ISBN|9783110222203}}], page 42 2. ^{{cite book|title=The Archaeology of the Holy Land: From the Destruction of Solomon's Temple to the Muslim Conquest|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2012|page=155|last=Magness|first=Jodi}} 3. ^Israel Museum, ID number: IAA 1936-989 4. ^1 Bickerman, Elias J. “The Warning Inscriptions of Herod's Temple.” The Jewish Quarterly Review, vol. 37, no. 4, 1947, pp. 387–405. 5. ^1 Llewelyn, Stephen R., and Dionysia Van Beek. “Reading the Temple Warning as a Greek Visitor.” Journal for the Study of Judaism in the Persian, Hellenistic, and Roman Period, vol. 42, no. 1, 2011, pp. 1–22. 6. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yYgfAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA121|title=Quarterly Statement - Palestine Exploration Fund|author=Palestine Exploration Fund|publisher=Published at the Fund's Office.|year=1872|pages=121–}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://penelope.uchicago.edu/josephus/war-5.html|title=Josephus: Of the War, Book V|last=|first=|date=|website=penelope.uchicago.edu|language=en|access-date=2018-03-03|quote="Upon it stood pillars, at equal distances from one another; declaring the law of purity, some in Greek and some in Roman letters; that no foreigner should go within that sanctuary.

Το ίερόν, "holy place," is the designation of the consecrated area, to which the fore-court led. This area was called by the Jews "sacred," mikdosh (הַמִּקְדָּשׁ). The word ίερόν was common in this sense in Greek and applied to pagan cults. For this reason it was avoided by the Alexandrian translators of the Scripture who use the term το άγιον in referring to the Temple of Jerusalem. But after the Maccabean victory, the Jews had less scruples about using a technical term from Greek heathenism. On the other hand, the word το άγιον which had become fashionable for Oriental holy places, was no longer a distinctive term in Herod's time. Accordingly, Philo and Josephus use both words, ίερόν and άγιον to designate the Temple of Herod. The περίβολος was the wall which encompassed the holy terrace within the outer court. Josephus, Philo and the Septuagint use this Greek word, technical in this connotation, to describe the enclosure of the Temple. The τρύψακτος, the Soreg in the Mishna, was a stone barrier which stretched across the outer court to protect the flights of stairs leading up to the inner court. As we said, the warning inscriptions were fixed on this rail." 10. ^Note: The original text is written in scriptio continua; the "[-]" symbol in the transliteration represents the Greek words which are broken across two lines 11. ^Discovery of a Tablet from Herod's Temple 12. ^{{cite book|last=Cadbury|first=Henry J.|title=The Book of Acts in History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DDVLAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA96|date=1 October 2004|publisher=Wipf and Stock Publishers|isbn=978-1-59244-915-6|pages=96–|quote= It was so satisfactory that skilful natives promptly forged several duplicates}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=https://archive.org/stream/quarterlystatem00fundgoog/#page/n127/mode/1up |title=Quarterly statement | Palestine Exploration Fund, 1884 |publisher=archive.org|accessdate=2015-11-15}} External references
