A fragment of Psalms 46 written in Greek and thought to be of Byzantine origin was recently found in Israel. A tiny gold ring was also found at the site.

"This is one of the most common psalms used in the ancient Christian liturgy. It appears that one of the monks drew a graffiti of the cross on the wall and underneath it, he penned a prayer he knew well," Ecker explained. "Based on the style of the script, the inscription dates back to the first half of the 6th century CE." He also noted, "Several grammatical errors in the transcription suggest that the writer did not speak Greek as his native tongue, but rather, he might have been a local, perhaps even a native of the region, and spoke Aramaic or another local language,"
