GENERAL NOTES

Pirenne 1979: 216: "Le photographies de ces pierres ne sont pas fournies à la même échelle, mais l'assemblage ne peut faire de doute, pour le texte et la graphie, et bien que les pierres soient de largeurs inégales".
Inscription of the middle period of Bā-Quṭfa (5th-3rd c. BC), palaeographically characterized by large letters ("Stile largo": see Prioletta 2006).
