A set of tombs to the north of the Outer Siq are rather similar in style. One of them is The Uneishu Tomb, tomb 813. From the web one can read [1] "... called Uneishu, due to an inscription on a grave slab that stated: "Uneishu, brother of Shuqailat, son of …" The tomb has facade decoration of the Hegra type". In this category the sub-category The Uneishu Tomb (Petra) has what must be the actual 813. However, nearby similar tombs have been named also as the Uneishu one, and are put here. The problem has to do with the fact, explained in an article on the web (Two forgotten Nabataean inscriptions, by Robert Wenning) that the inscription was found near a tomb called number 808, and for a while that one was seen as the proper Uneishu one. Some pictures in this category name it so, however, the facade of tomb 808 has no formation of rocks to the side, and in descriptions of 813 it is clear it had adjacent structures.
