Commentary
There is hammering over parts of the second and third letters of the third name. Between its first recording by the Basalt Desert Rescue Survey in 1989 and is rediscovery by Ali Al-Manaser ion 2021, part of the right side of the stone has broken off but with no damage to this inscription.
