Notes | It is not sure if the inscription originally comes from ad-Durayb (for the issue of the provenance of the texts found in the village, see the opposite opinions by Robin and Ryckmans, Jacques 1980: 135 and Schiettecatte 2011: 102). For sure, there was a temple of ḏt-Ḥmym in the nearby site of Kharibat Saʿūd (Ktlm; cf. CIH 494 and MAFRAY-Ḫirbat Saʿūd 13). |
