DISCUSSION
Macdonald & Al-Najem (2016) commented: "The stone was in the Department of Antiquities collection at Taymāʾ 1985 when it was photographed by William Facey. An ashlar (89 x 31 x 18 cm), inscribed along one of the thin edges. The text may have begun on a neighbouring ashlar and
may have continued onto another.
The text could also be read s¹ʿd bt y{r}{l} 'S¹ʿd daughter of {Yrl}'. It is possible that the final word is a verb. However, it is difficult to find an appropriate meaning for the verb ṣmʿ whereas ṣm is a frequent form of the divine name Ṣlm in personal names at Taymāʾ and a name Ṣmʿzr is known from TM.T.003. I have therefore taken it as an incomplete personal name".
