- Macdonald & Al-Najem (2016) commented: "A large slab of sandstone (82–66 x 62–52 x 14 cm). Not previously published. The text is carved boustrophedon starting from right-to-left in the lower line and then curving round into the upper line. Note that the l of the first name was apparently forgotten and squeezed in within the curve of the r. The word grr has not been found before in Taymanitic but may be cognate with Arabic ǧarār ‘potter’. There is a wasm below the text".
