GENERAL NOTES
| The object has been reemployed with the same function: on the main face the name of a deceased is engraved below the sketch of a human face (YM 28515 A), while on one lateral side we read "tomb of" plus another name (YM 28515 B). According to Arbach, Schiettecatte and al-Hādī 2008 this inscription dates back to the 3rd century BC. |
