Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
CSNS: ṣrf for ṣġf; nẓrn for nẓr l-. MNH pp. 343-344 and n. 261: reads nẓr {l-} rbʾl "while watching out for Rbʾl;" and discussion of Graf's assumption that rbʾl and other names are names of Nabataean kings.
Commentary
Another inscription by a brd bn ṣġr is ASFF 314. However, the genealogy is too short for it to be possible to know if the author is the same.
