GENERAL NOTES
| There is a text only known through Halevy's transcription, which bears the name Brs²s¹ (as-Sawdāʾ 66). Halevy does not give any information on the support. It is not to be excluded, having seen the very rare kind of name, and that the object comes from al-Jawf, that we deal with the same inscription. |
