To the best of my knowledge, the inscription is genuine. Have Cyrer and Gmirkin published yet? It may be unfair to the excavators and inscription publishers to have a forgery claim circulate for so long without publishing the basis for such a claim, or a retraction, especially when quick outlets are readilly available in electronic form.
