Macdonald & Al-Najem (2016) commented: "The stone was in the Department of Antiquities collection at Taymāʾ in 1985 when it was photographed by William Facey. A rectangular ashlar (75 x 43 x 17 cm) of yellow sandstone, probably taken from a building like Manṭar Banī ʿAtiyya. The text is inscribed in deeply cut letters along one of the thin sides. At the end, a letter of wasm has been hammered over. Not previously published"
