- Unfortunately, the Safaitic Epigraphic Survey Programme was unable to locate the sites of Qabr Nāṣir and Ṣanāyim al-Gharz and they do not appear in Geonames. Dussaud & Macler describe Ghadīr al-Darb as "a muddy pool of water" in Wādī al-Gharz (1903: 27 [429]). The co-ordinates given above are those provided by Geonames, but this places it some 220 m north of the left bank of the Wādī, so they should be taken as approximate.
