Eastern of the camp, right after the Ruins where you killed the Intrudes and looted the tablets there's another guy holding the tablet. The tooltip tells you so.
He is right in between the rocks, respawning pretty quickly. Stands right before the part where you could walk up left.

Description
<Salhet spends some time going over the tablets with the priests around him.> It's all right here, {name}. Atulhet built a potent weapon into this temple and the only way to access it is with the correct cypher. It is reportedly hidden in the Keset Pass. We must hope the Neferset looters haven't gotten to it yet. That's where Raider Lord Havat is operating and he's the most ruthless of the lot. But without reinforcements, this might be our only hope for defending Nahom.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Punish the Trespassers
We, priests of Nahom, are guardians of the Tombs of the Precursors. Ever since the Neferset turned to their new masters, they've turned to great heresies. They rob the sacred tombs of our forefathers, seeking powerful artifacts and destroying invaluable relics in the process.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Defense of Nahom
The enemy is coming... and in great numbers. We will get no further reinforcements. Let us hope we can stop the Neferset advance. If Nahom falls, Ramkahen will follow. Go outside and speak to one of my sergeants when you're ready. I will help you command the forces we have to the best of my ability.
