The so-called Isaiah Stone, located under Robinson's Arch, has a carved inscription in Hebrew with a partial and slightly faulty quote from (or [[paraphrase]] of) {{bibleverse|Isaiah|66:14}}: "And you will see and your heart will rejoice and ''their'' bones like an herb [will flourish]" (the correct line from Isaiah would read "... ''your'' bones".) This gave room to various interpretations, some speculating about it being written during a period of hope for Jews. Alternatively, it might be connected to nearby graves. The inscription has tentatively been dated to the 4th–8th century, some extending the possible timespan all the way to the 11th century.<ref>{{cite book |first=Jack |last=Friedman |title=The Jerusalem Book of Quotations: A 3,000-Year Perspective |page=27 |publisher=Gefen Publishing House |year=2007 |isbn=978-9652293923 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4E3fG3uGgbYC&pg=PA27 |access-date=1 August 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |editor1=Hannah M.
