===Place of trumpeting===
Another [[trumpeting place inscription|ancient inscription]], partially preserved on a stone discovered below the southwest corner of the Herodian Mount, contains the words "to the place of trumpeting". The stone's shape suggests that it was part of a parapet, and it has been interpreted as belonging to a spot on the Mount described by Josephus, "where one of the priests to stand and to give notice, by sound of trumpet, in the afternoon of the approach, and on the following evening of the close, of every [[Sabbath|seventh day]]" closely resembling what the [[Talmud]] says.<ref name="IMJ">{{cite web |title='To the place of trumpeting …,' Hebrew inscription on a parapet from the Temple Mount |publisher=[[The Israel Museum]] |location=Jerusalem |url=https://www.imj.org.il/en/collections/191539 |access-date=24 July 2020 |archive-date=30 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230830023450/https://www.imj.org.il/en/collections/191539 |url-status=live }}</ref>
