- The text is fairly lightly incised and is crossed by many scratches. Some of the letters are crudely formed, such as the w following kkb and the ḍ, if that is what it is, and the s¹ of s¹lm.
- Provenance
- WH Cairn 22 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
