Commentary
On a basalt block built into a "modern wall which had been built across the front of the cave" at the Byzantine church on Jabal Lu Weibdeh Amman. See BBCD for comments on the copy. It seems likely that the copy here was not checked by Khraysheh as it bears little resemblance to his reading or indeed to a Safaitic inscription at all.
