Commentary
WRL 3–5 are on a large rough boulder outside a cave in the Wādī bank. This text is carved in large, carefully direct-hammered letters. It starts on Face B and the end runs on Face A where it is covered with lichen.

  • Inscriptions recorded by the Safaitic Epigraphic Survey Programme in 1995 on the left bank of Wādī Rushaydah, and published here.
