It also contains Qur'anic inscriptions. They vary from [[1924 Cairo edition|today's standard text]] (mainly changes from the first to the third person) and are mixed with pious inscriptions not in the [[Quran]].<ref name=RSEQ>Robert Schick, ''Archaeology and the Quran'', [[Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an]]</ref> The dedicatory inscription in [[Kufic]] script placed around the dome contains the date believed to be the year the Dome was first completed, [[Hijri year|AH]] 72 (691/2 CE), while the name of the corresponding [[caliph]] and builder of the Dome, [[Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan]], was deleted and replaced by the name of [[Abbasid]] caliph [[Al-Ma'mun]] ({{reign|813|833}}) during whose reign renovations took place.
