Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 1. Jaussen & Savignac: s²m bn for s²mb{l}; Grimme: s²m[ʾ]l rather than s²mb{l}. Line 3. Jaussen & Savignac followed by Grimme: qḍ rather than tqṭ TRANSLATION Line 2. bn yrtʿ, Jaussen & Savignac followed by Grimme and Al-Qudrah: 'the group of Rtʿ'. Line 3. w mṯl, Jaussen & Savignac: personal name; Grimme: 'and (he) was sacrificed'.
Commentary
Line 3. The meaning of mṯl is founded upon the Sabaic noun mṯl 'copy, duplicate' (Beeston et al. 1982: 88). See also the Minaic inscription from Kamna Fr-Ṣanʿāʾ 5 (= Military Museum of Sanaa, no. 148) in Frantsouzoff 2010: 164, 165.
