- Commentary
- The inscription is chiselled into the crust of one side of a fragment of tabular flint broken on all edges. The reading is based on the assumption that the letters are part of a single inscription carved boustrophedon, but this, of course, is unprovable. Damascus Museum 17749.2 (= AKSD 3.2) is on the other side of this piece.
