A Bilingual Greek-Georgian Inscription from Mount Zion, Jerusalem, and the Location of the “Monastery of the Iberians”

A salvage excavation on the southern part of Mount Zion uncovered building remains dating from the Byzantine period. A bilingual Greek-Georgian mosaic inscription was discovered in one of the rooms of the building complex. Based on this finding, and in light of the early written sources, the author proposes to identify the building with the Monastery of the Iberians.
