TEXT Line 2. Jamme: ḥt s¹ʾ[m] rather than b ʾblḥ Line 3. Jamme: b tkkn for b ts¹kn. DISCUSSION Macdonald & Al-Najem (2016) commented: "A slab of sandstone (60 x 52 13 cm) inscribed on one of the wide faces. In previous publications (Livingstone et al. 1983: 113 and JaT 86) it has been read as three incomplete parallel lines. However, it is actually a complete text carved boustrophedon".
