The stele is historically significant as the first Northwest Semitic inscription ever published in modern times and the first Aramaic text to be published, although it was initially mistaken for Phoenician. Discovered in the 18th century, it sparked a long scholarly debate over its language and literary form. By the early 19th century, scholars had conclusively identified the inscription as Aramaic, with some of its vocabulary showing parallels to the Aramaic found in the biblical Books of Daniel and Ruth. Today it is catalogued as KAI 269, CIS II 141, and TAD C20.5.

The vesica piscis is a geometric shape formed by the intersection of two congruent circles, where the center of each lies on the perimeter of the other. Literally meaning "bladder of a fish" in Latin, this almond-shaped (or mandorla) symbol represents the intersection of dual worlds, such as heaven and earth, spirit and matter, or the masculine and feminine.
