Description
Summary:During the 1981 excavations at Petra a marble worker's workshop was found, which included an inscribed slab dated to the 37th year of Aretas IV. The four broken lines of text clearly show the religio-legal nature of the original full text and add to the current picture of Nabataean religious background. Script and vocabulary phenomena in the text are also of interest.
