In the pit cut into the rock, to the south of the tablet area, uncovered a hexagonal slab leaning vertically against the fairly soft wall of the subsoil rock. Photos at the beginning of the afternoon in the presence of the French ambassador and his wife, who came to Enkomi shortly after 11 o'clock. The removal of the slab brings nothing.
