- 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 long slab of yellowish grey sandstone (220 x 54–52 x 23–18). The text is carved in large letters: l = 22 cm high; b = 10.5 cm high; ʿ = 7 cm high; ṯ = 13.5 cm high; t = 10 cm high; r = 12 cm high; b = 12 cm high; ḥ = 9.5 cm high. The stone is broken in the middle of the ḥ. Nor previously published".
- Commentary
- There is an extraneous shallow diagonal line above the second b which is not part of the letter and an entirely superficial horizontal line crossing its right vertical.
