• Series: Squeezes
• Physical Description: 1 sheet
• Notes: This squeeze preserves a small portion of the text from line 3 to line 9. The remainder of the text can be restored on the basis of other squeezes taken from the same inscription. Although Höfner (1944: 91) [bib:N4ZHS9UW] gives Šeqīr as the provenance of this inscription, the Digital Archive for the Study of Pre-Islamic Arabian Inscriptions (http://dasi.humnet.unipi.it/) gives Ḥinū az-Zurayr (ancient Harbat) as the provenance.
