- Translation
- By Ḫṭs¹t son of Flṭt son of Bhs² son of ʾḏnt son of ʾs¹lm and he found the writing of his grandfather, so he grieved in pain, so, O Rḍy, may he who would scratch out be thrown out of his grave.
Interpretation
- Provenance
- We have not been able to identify this site with any certainty. According to C (p. 91), it is about 30 km west of Ruǧm al-Marʾah. The co-ordinates we have given it are therefore taken from a point 30 km due west of Ruǧm al-Marʾah, but this can only be a very approximate position. Note that this site is not the same as Ḥuǧayr al-Helle, where C 2 was found, which is on the north-western edge of the Ṣafā.
