• Notes: The squeeze in this photograph is marked with a pencil to facilitate reading. The photograph itself is upside down. Note the stylized image of a bull's head, a common cultic symbol in ancient South Arabian iconography. 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 gives Ḥinū az-Zurayr (ancient Harbat) as the provenance.
