Same dot edu site, Peter. Took all of three minutes to locate it via 
google.image and another two minutes to take a quick look at three 
inscriptions...  so, nu, I picked up the second one to send out instead of 
the first. Point was to point him to the site because, as I said, Kline's 
site has images of darn near every early NW Semitic inscription.

Many thanks for the correction..

Yes, I know Dr. Hanson's site. The Kline site has more images.

Thanks again,
