Commentary
Area A. By the same author as L 8 (which is on a contiguous large stone) and by the father of the author of L 6 (which is on the same stone). The drawing on this stone appears to be claimed by the authors of L 5 6 and 8. However since the word ḫṭṭ can refer to both inscriptions and drawings it is not certain whether any or all of them are claiming the picture. Associated drawing to be numbered.

Notes: Al-ʿĪsāwī is the name of a probably ancient well between two headlands on the eastern side of the Wādī Shām as it runs northwards from the modern Al-Namārah dam to the Ruḥbah. The well is large, stone lined and with stone water-channels running from it. The main concentration of published inscriptions is on the top of the northern headland, but there also many inscriptions on its south-west slopes, coming down to the well and on the southern headland, on the crest of which is a stone tower.
Associated Inscriptions: L 6
