The National Monuments Service's description
Formerly situated at Toureen Peacaun monastery (TS075-023----) and currently unlocated. Recorded by Petrie (1878, 33-4) and appears to have been subsequently lost. Based on Petrie’s description and sketch it is described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 318-19), as a small slab (H c. 0.135m; Wth c. 0.215m) which was a fragment of a slab of unknown form with fragmentary and deteriorated text. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 59 (ibid.).
