As stated above, the back wall of the Chapel between Caves XXVI and XXVII contains a fairly large inscription. It was covered with the mass of debris accumulating there through landslides caused by rains at different periods, and moisture and salts have much damaged the rock on which it is carved. In 1936, when the court of Cave XXVI was excavated and the chapel to its left was cleared of wreckage, this inscription was exposed to view.
