Commentary

About the circumstances of the discovery, see Sillani, 2014 , p. 104.

As Fraser saw the stone at Balagrae in the late years 1950, it is clear that it had been brought there from Massah after its first record in 1918. Morelli said that he had seen the stone at Baydah, but there is in that city no place to store an inscription other than the storeroom (today a small museum) inside the archaeological enclosure of Balagrae. That should be the place he mentioned. C. Dobias-Lalou could have only a very quick glimpse there and did not see it.
