Two joining pieces of a decorated insciption, which are uninterpretable. On the left of the first stone there is a rectangular framed design. An alpha-omega seems to be etched very faintly outside of this design. There is a circle with stylized leaves on the right side of the first fragment. The break in the stones lies to the right of the center circle. On the left side of the second conjoining stone there is a circular geometric shape. Apart from the leaves in the center circle, no other figures within the shapes are identifiable. The stones were found in Fakhem, but were in secondary use as construction material. It is unclear whether they originated there, or were moved to the site for construction when the city began flourishing in the twentieth century. If the latter scenario is the case, it is possible that the fragments originated in Farj, a rich antique site lying 1 km south-east.
