Notes on support and decorationsRES suggested the presence of two symbols on the right side, facing the first two inscription's lines. Jamme and Wissmann reproduced the first symbol as the typical Qatabanian regal monogram-symbol, composed of the letters ḥ and l, although Glaser's facsimile, as it appears in Höigt's transcription (Jamme 1976: 34), doesn't show the oblique appendix of the letter "l". Since this monogram-symbol is only attested in Qatabanic inscriptions, it is quite possible that Jamme and Wissmann copies are incorrect.
