The small group of mostly fragmentary steles in the Byblian script published by M. Dunand in 1978 has not attracted much attention. Not only are the texts in an enigmatic script, but they are for the most part badly eroded, and the photographs are insufficient to establish the readings independently. Nevertheless, the inscription labeled L (fig. 1) by Dunand can be singled out as quite remarkable for its unusual signs in lines 8-11, which do not occur in any other pseudo-hieroglyphic inscription, and in fact, almost certainly do not belong to that writing system. Dunand's remarks highlight the dramatic change in the writing and the difficulties encountered in reading the signs:3
