Interpretation
- Provenance
- Ruǧm al-Ruṣayʿī is a large cairn with many inscriptions of which Littmann copied only 5. It is c. 1.75 km, as the crow flies, from Biʾr al-Ruṣayʿī, around which there are many cairns, and it is not clear why was given the name Rijm al-Ruṣayʿī. The local bedouin do not appear to know it as this today.
