Perhaps it would help if the table of scripts given by Rosenthal is made available, so that you can see why I opted for Monumental Palmyrene. Because of size limitations on this list I have put the image of this fold-out page on my site at www.raymondm.co.uk\prog\Aramaic\. You can judge for yourselves.

Obviously. As I reported in an earlier message, this was part of the ceiling decoration in a hotel in Aleppo.
