• Superior document: Squeezes
• Author: Müller, David Heinrich
• Series: Squeezes
• Physical Description: 1 sheet
• Notes: This squeeze preserves only a small portion of the text from lines 1 to 9. The remainder of the text can be reconstructed on the basis of the 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.
