The Fakhariyah inscription was published with unusual promptness. See Ali Abou Assaf, “Die Statue des HDYSY, König von Guzana,” Mitteilungen des Deutschen Orients-Gesellschaft 113 (1981), pp. 3–22, and Assaf, Pierre Bordreuil, and Alan R. Millard, La statue de Tell Fekherye et son inscription bilingue assyro-aramèenne, Editions Recherche sur les civilisations (paris: ADPF, 1982). The discovery was announced in Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR) in 1981, see Adam Mikaya, “Earliest Aramaic Inscription Uncovered in Syria,” BAR 07:04. For additional bibliography until the beginning of 1988, see W.E. Aufrecht and G.J. Hamilton, “The Tell Fakhariyah Bilingual Inscription: A Bibliography,” Newsletter for Targumic and Cognate Studies Supp. 4 (1988), pp. 1–7.
