(February 12, 2024) This stone slab first came to the attention of Europeans when it was seen embedded in a wall of a mosque located at Tiba or Teiba (al-Taiyibah) Syria in 1616 by Peitro della Valle. This was 2 days by caravan northeast of Palmyra. During the late 1700's, early 1800's it came into the possession of William, 2nd Earl of Bessborough. It was purchased by the British Museum from his estate in 1858. The letter style of its main top text is in the Aegean Island lineage. Its underlying language is Akkadian and not Greek as assumed by earlier historians.
This text is reminding the reader of the differences between the life class of powers and the motion/emotion class, and of the differences between the levels of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. This scholarly respect of differences is the main characteristic of the Aegean Island sub-culture as reflected in its lineage of texts.

Tiba was on the original Syrian trade route through the coastal mountains.
(February 11, 2024) This is mostly late Aegean Island in style just starting its transition to the Greek style. The dual use letter Yod (I,Y) is being split apart into its vowel (I) and consonant (Y) forms. This seems to be the earliest evidence for that.
