- TEXT Line 3. CIH: ----t----. TRANSLATION Carruthers considered this inscription and SHI 6, as one text and translated: 'Cave and tomb of Shibām daughter of Luḫay son of W[ahb] whose wife [was] daughter of ----'.
- Commentary
- Despite the apparent similarity of the stone and letter forms, SHI 06 (here) and SHI 05 cannot belong to the same inscription, as Carruthers supposed. The gap between the w in line 1 of SHI 06 and the q (in SHI 05) is too large and the t supposedly of "bnt" in line 2 of SHI 05 is separated from the bn (in SHI 06) by a word-divider.
