Description
View of Tomb 813 at Petra, Jordan. "... a fine Double Cornice type ... perhaps the most significant find apart from a coin probably of the reign of King Malchus II, was a fragment of sandstone inscribed with a few Nabatean letters ... suggest that the burial belonged to Uneishu and other members of the ruling dynasty in the time of Malchus II ... The monument is also important because of the near completeness of its sepulchral arrangement, for not only are there loculi within the tomb, but there is also an associated triclinium and a pillared courtyard,"--Petra by Iaian Browning, London: Chatto & Windus, 1989.
