Interpretation
- Commentary
- The stone was photographed by William Facey at Taymāʾ in 1985, but does not seem to be in the Museum. The text reads boustorphedon, starting right-to-left in the lower line and curling upwards. The 7th and 10th letters look more the informal shape of Dadanitic s¹ than Taymanitic ḥ and the antepenultimate letter looks like a Dadantic g or m. Due to the bad condition of the text, it is impossible to offer a coherent translation. The reading given here is that in Macdonald and Al-Najem 2016.
- Provenance
- Carved across the top of one face of a rectangular block or stele.
