The three-line graffiti was discovered by A. Sayce in 1909-1910 a few kilometers south of the Wadi Halfa in Sudan. The characters are deeply cut in the rock at the back of a natural cave on the north side of an isolated hill on the west bank of the Nile. After the construction of Aswan Dam, the site is submerged under Lake Nasser. It is the southermost Carian inscription ever discovered. It appears to include onomastic formulas with multiple personal names.
