Interpretation
- Provenance
- Khirbat al-Hubayrīyah is an ancient site at the northern end of the Kraa (al-Qaraʾah), some 7.5 km south-east of Khirbat al-Umbāshī. Apart from C 918–920 which were found at the site itself, the inscriptions were found in the surrounding area. Note that C spells the name with an initial "Ḥ", whereas according to geonames.org it should be "H".
