Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
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. An irregularly shaped piece of pink sandstone (52 x 33 x 13 cm) with an inscription and a wasm which is carved in a different technique and has a slightly lighter patina. Not previously published".
Commentary
A cross with a diagonal line below its bottom right quarter. The text is written in boustrophedon starting from right-to-left.
