Commentary

The inscription is on the left bank of Wādī Rāǧil, on a cliff-face at the waterfall approximately 2 km upstream from the site of Jāwā.It is chiselled with a broad blade and carved vertically with drawings of two female camels to the left of it and a more modern one (to judge from the patina) to the right of it. Jawa76M3 starts to the right of the second name.
