• Superior document: Squeezes
• Author: Müller, David Heinrich
• Series: Squeezes
• Physical Description: 1 sheet
• Notes: This triangle-shaped squeeze preserves only a small portion of text on the left-hand side of the inscription from line 7 to line 9, some of which has been marked with a colored pencil. The bull's head symbol is also preserved. The remainder of the text can be restored on the basis of other squeezes taken from the same inscription. Although Höfner (1944: 91) [bib:N4ZHS9UW] gives Šeqīr as the provenance of this inscription, the Digital Archive for the Study of Pre-Islamic Arabian Inscriptions (http://dasi.humnet.unipi.it/) gives Ḥinū az-Zurayr (ancient Harbat) as the provenance.
