This one is not the Siloam Tunnel inscription, but the Royal Steward 
inscription. For Siloam, see instead 
http://fontes.lstc.edu/~rklein/images/sil1.jpg for a picture and 
http://fontes.lstc.edu/~rklein/images/sil2.jpg for a line drawing; the 
latter seems identical to the line drawing in the introduction to GKC 
(Gesenius' Hebrew grammar). See also 
http://www.kchanson.com/ANCDOCS/westsem/siloam.html for another picture.
