Despite an archaic ductus, this inscription, which probably comes from Baraqish, has been dated at phase B mainly for two reasons: the god's name with mimation and the royal epithet Yṯʿ, both elements being absent during the Madhabean period. As the stone is complete, the text portion which is lost was engraved on another slab.
