That looks like a baked clay tablet not stone. The wet clay could be imprinted with letters and words then baked without a lot of trouble. It was not uncommon for lesser quality metals to be mixed in with the better stuff. Gold especially was tainted and there’s more than a few tablets out there complaining about that practice.
I agree–it looks too small and cramped to be chiseled, so I thought it was written on what clay and baked for eternity.
I think the author was complaining about being “chiseled” by the supplier….LOL:-))
I have studied that kind of writing for some time so I could read the bricks on the side of my house. All of War And Peace is recorded there. Along with a short story by Mark Twain.
