- King (1990: 307) commented: "The text is written down on the left side of the rock and then curves to the right. The structure of the text is well-attested, see Ch.4.E.1, but the word ḫrṣ only occurs here. ḫariṣa in Ar. means ‘to conjecture, lie, be cold and hungry’ and I have translated ḫrṣ from the last of these as expressing a feeling of discomfort. ḏfrn is not in Harding 1971. Rock XXXI is a large boulder standing about 2 metres high. See Pl.IXa".
