Description:
Ashlar with building inscription used as a corner stone for the foundation of a house in the village of Anzaf. When it was discovered in 1969 the inscription was still well legible (see the photo in CTU III, p. 248). In August 2004, the stone was still in the same position, but the text was no longer readable. The stone probably comes from the site of Yukarı Anzaf. Dimensions: height 16 cm, width 56 cm, thickness 26 cm.
