Description:

Now situated in an isolated desert setting, the CPA inscription appears to be linked to the site’s monastic history. Its location lies approximately 15 km west of the remains of Walid’s palace at Qasr Burqa. The same stone also bears an Arabic inscription, and nearby stones carry two Safaitic texts accompanied by drawings.
