Abstract
The writing is inscribed in two columns, each divided into six registers. Each register has two lines of three, four, or five words. The two columns are divided by a series of diamonds in which is a prayer on behalf of the prophet, his family, and friends. There are fifty words in the first column and forty-eight in the second, making a total of ninety-eight words--one less than those making up the names of Allah. However, it seems certain that in some cases two or more words are read together to form a single idea, so that there are only eighty-seven epithets and the names of two suras on the plaque.
