Mentre nei forum specialistici si continua a dibattere su questa scritta (l'ultima è che non è affatto certo che la prima lettera del 'tetragramma greco' sia uno Iota..), anche un certo Greg Stafford commenta la cosa

It is unclear from the images provided by Tabor in his article, "A Preliminary Report of a Robotic Camera
Exploration of a Sealed 1st Century Tomb in East Talpiot, Jerusalem" [do a google search and the PDF, with images near the end, will come up]) if the divine name is, in fact, used in the inscription in Ossuary 5:3=Kloner 5:2 (image on page 40 of Tabor's article).
From both the inscription and for other reasons which I will provide separately, if it is a form of the divine name then I believe it is a combination of the two of the shortest forms of the name, IA + IO, and so IAIO, combining two Greek transliterations of the two most ancient, short forms of the divine name YH and YW.
This combination was known and used in writing elsewhere (I'll provide references, soon). Yet, Tabor does not mention this and he seems only to view this form (IAIO) as representative of the tetragrammaton proper (YHWH).
