Abstract
The importance lies in the fact that it is the first inscription of King Shkr or Shaker bin Hasha’t. An inscription of him has not previously been discovered in Dedan, and he is considered the eighth king of Dedan to be uncovered. Secondly, it is the second inscription of a king of Deden to be revealed outside of Deden (Al-Ula Governorate). An inscription of King Muta’ El bin Karb El was previously revealed in Wadi Hasma, and inscriptions of the kings of the Lhyanic of Deden were previously revealed, including an inscription of the king congratulating Aws in Wadi Hasma. Lhyanic inscriptions in Taima. He also revealed inscriptions written in Aramaic by the King of Lhyan.
