On the basis of the similarities between the inscriptions Ja 2218b and Tokai Suzuki-ASA no. 3, the editors of the latter suggest that Ja 2218b could well originate frome the area of Awsān, too. It is also possible that both are fragments of the same object (Prioletta, Hull and Blumell 2019: 249-250). |
