thought that the three inscriptions were created in different times, more recent scholarship considers them to have all been incised together.The decision to include an Arabic portion of the inscription can be seen as a reflection of the desire to express the cultural identity of the author as, otherwise, Greek was the imperial language and Syriac was the ecclesiastical of the Miaphysite
