Area H. Associated drawing to be numbered. Scratched very faintly around the edge of the face. Mu 33 has been incised between the two halves of this text and over the second name. The drawing of the camel is even more faintly scratched near the beginning and end of the text. The first name is illegible on the photograph.

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: Mu 33
