GENERAL NOTES
| The text is in QAT; its discovery in Ḥaḍramawt as stated in the British Museum fact sheet is probably incorrect. The typology of the text and its date are not sure; the preposition l-followed by the suffix pronoun and by "his/their son/sons" is a typical formula of the QAT construction inscriptions. |
