Interpretation
- Provenance
- C wrongly placed this text with those from the cairn north of Khirbat al-Umbāshī. However, it is clear from Dussaud & Macler 1901: 121 that it was not copied there (even if their "Nebech" = Umbāshī) but "1 hour and 25 minutes further" "on the track which leads to the Jabal al-Drūz". They did not copy any of the texts at the cairn they found near Khirbat al-Nebech.
