Fragments of limestone stelae: a, the largest, with about 120 signs in a monumental style between ruled lines; g, written in five vertical columns; h and j, probably from one monument; and the four short fragments k to n published in 1978, of which l carries four lines read by Hoch as an Egyptian hieratic date formula.
