GENERAL NOTES

Pirenne 1956: 99, no. 1, notes that " ... le nr. 324, donné lui aussi pour liḥyanite, est assurément minéen". However, although edited by Jaussen and Savignac among the liḥyanite inscriptions, this fragment had been already considered Minaic by Jaussen and Savignac themselves: "fragment d'inscription minéenne" (Jaussen and Savignac 1914: 518, nr. 324, and in the n.1: "oublié quand on traitait des inscriptions minéennes").
