• Superior document: Squeezes
• Author: Müller, David Heinrich
• Series: Squeezes
• Physical Description: 1 sheet
• Notes: Another triangle-shapred squeeze, this preserves only a small portion of lines 3-8 of the inscription from which it is taken. The rest of the text has been restored here on the basis of the other squeezes taken from this 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.
