- DISCUSSION Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2016: 128, for the divine name Ḏġbt.
- Commentary
- An inscription carved in relief on slab of pink sandstone. In Classical Arabic (Lane 1863-1893: 2719b), the word maṣad means, among other things "a mountain top", or "a place of refuge". On the other hand, Abū l-Ḥasan (2002: 36–37) translates it as 'the high red mountain'.
