PinGGG!............
Probably translates to “Keep an eye on Murray, he pees in the water”.
Wasn’t this just a TV series?
Nope, it says “We don’t pee in your outhouse, so don’t ...” rest is unclear.
That, or “no lifeguard on duty.”
(In real life, I have no idea. Ancient Hebrew is hard enough; no clue about Aramaic.)
Not that much different. They share a lot of the same words and letters. I would guess it’s like American English vs. UK English.................
I was looking at the figure just above the man’s hand. It appeared to be a tree with a towel draped across the lower limb. Then it struck me, it’s the attendant, and the message to the left says, You better tip me!.............
No, there is a lot of Arabic in it (or rather the other way around). It’s more like Middle German to Modern English.

Were Jews smaller back then? Who’d a thunk?

IIRC, it was the language that was used in biblical times as a sort of ‘lingua franca’ for talking between different peoples whose native language was different. There is on scene in the Old Testament where the Assyrian army commander is yelling to the people of Jerusalem from outside the walls and the king’s (Hezekiah?) representatives said, “Speak to us in Aramaic, we can understand that.” It wasn’t to get the message across, but to hide the general’s words from the populace, because he was yelling some scary stuff..............
Everybody was smaller back then, even Romans..................
Here I sit, broken hearted.....
“He who is valorous and pure of heart may find the Holy Grail in the aaaaarrrrrrggghhh...”
Scientist have been able to desipher part of the message:
Do...not....vote...for....hi...
decipher that is. spelling without a safety net.
“Kohler, made in Judea”
Are you sure it’s not ‘Price-Pfister’?..................
