A limestone block found where it was set, dedicating a temple built by Ikausu son of Padi, ruler of Ekron, to his goddess. It names the city — confirming the identification of the mound as Ekron — and five of its kings. Padi and Ikausu are both known from Assyrian records too.
The temple which he built, Ikausu son of Padi, son of Ysd, son of Ada, son of Ya'ar, ruler of Ekron, for Ptgyh his lady.
