介绍（中）	颜色不确定（可能无色）；在同一个玻璃里留下痕迹圆形加厚轮圈；颈部向上弯曲形成尾巴，向身体逐渐变细；身体扁平成不规则的透镜状；底部拉出两个实心突起形成口脖子上有一道细痕伤口；另一条痕迹曾经缠绕在下半身形成鳃；在鳃和嘴之间，两个用于眼睛的斑点，身体两侧各一个；从嘴后到脖子基部，贴在身体上边缘的长而粗的痕迹，被捏成十三个扁平的、突出的凸缘，用于背鳍；和两个大斑点，加工成垂直的扁平凸缘，用作身体顶部的后鳍（这些在解剖学上是不正确的）完好；针刺气泡；严重的点蚀和风化，大部分表面覆盖着灰色的搪瓷状风化层和一些明亮的彩虹色斑块鱼形状的玻璃容器可能是在锡罗巴勒斯坦地区制造的。它们的形状是与它们的内容物（即倒在鱼盘上的酱汁）有关，还是仅仅是一种装饰性的突发奇想，现在还无法确定。然而，他们不太可能有任何特定的基督教象征性联想。
介绍（英）	Uncertain color (probably colorless); trails in same glass. Rounded, thickened rim; neck bent upward to form tail, tapering towards body; body flattened into irregular lentoid shape; bottom drawn out in two solid projections to form mouth. Fine trail wound once round neck; another trail wound once around lower body to form gills; between gills and mouth, two applied blobs for eyes, one on each side of body; long thick trail applied to upper edge of body from behind mouth to base of neck, pinched into thirteen flat, projecting flanges, for dorsal fin; and two large blobs, tooled into vertical, flat flanges, applied to top of body as rear fins (these are anatomically incorrect). Intact; pinprick bubbles; severe pitting and weathering, with most of surfaces covered in a grey, enamel-like weathering layer and some patches of brilliant iridescence. Glass containers in the form of a fish were probably made in the Syro-Palestinian region. Whether their shape relates specifically to their contents (that is, a sauce to pour on a fish dish) or is merely a decorative whim cannot now be determined. It is unlikely, however, that they had any specifically Christian symbolic associations.
