I have just checked (what I believe to be) the primary English-language publication of the inscription (W. Eck, "The Bar Kokhba Revolt", JRS 89, 1999, 76-89), and he writes: "remains were found in Tel Shalem, about 12 kilometres to the south of Scythopolis", citing G. Foerster, Atiquot 17 (1985), 139-157. (The two authors (Eck & Foerster) apparently prepared a report for JRA, but I have not seen it.)
Maybe this clears up the problem a little? :|
