GENERAL NOTES
| Despite what affirmed in the museum's catalogue, the reference to kbrn w-ʿhrhn w-Mʿn, only attested in inscriptions from al-ʿUlā, may be a reason for an origin of the text from that place rather than from al-Jawf. In this case, the inscription would be part of the Marginal Minaic corpus. |
