Commentary
Gertrude Bell describes her finding this text and LP 1299–1300, 1302.1 on 23rd March 1905 in "a mass of rock all covered with inscriptions, Nabathaean, Greek, Kufic, and one in a [l]abel [that is a cartouche] which I did not know, but it was very like the oldest script of Yemen Sabaean." (Bell F 1927: 196). See also Bell GL 1907: 122–123.
