Description

Three text segments, one dedicatory cache, and one alfarda. The texts compare dedication and naming phrases. The top phrase records a fire dedication of a house; the phrase at left records the erection of a stela. The text at center contains a DN and a fragment of och k'ak' (entered with fire). The alfarda is the West Alfarda from the Temple of the Inscriptions.
