Commentary
The text is carved in very lightly scratched letters across two stones. Only the letters on the first stone were copied by Thompson on the SIJ mission. The letters after ḫlṣt are difficult to make out on the photographs.

Provenance
Photographed by Joseph O'Hara on the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2015.
