• Superior document: Squeezes
• Series: Squeezes
• Physical Description: 1 sheet
• Notes: This squeeze preserves most of Lines 9-21 of the inscription. The remainder of the text can be restored on the basis of other squeezes taken from the same inscription. It appears that the inscription was already in a fragmentary state at the time of its discovery, and lacked portions of text on the right-hand side.
