- C identifies Dussaud M 515 with LP 926, although the copies differ considerably in the second half of the text. However, LP 926 is one of the inscriptions copied by one of the "servants of the Princeton University Archaeological Expedition" (Littmann 1943: iii), who would not have known Safaitic, and this may explain the differences.
