• Superior document: Squeezes
• Series: Squeezes
• Physical Description: 1 sheet
• Notes: The condition of this squeeze is very poor, such that the text it once preserved is now effectively illegible. The text can, however, be restored based on photographs of the inscription. Some staining by moisture and traces of scotch tape can be seen on this squeeze. The exact provenance of the inscription from which this squeeze was taken is unknown but is thought to be somewhere in the area of Wādī ʿAbīda.
