Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 115: does not read the first name; ʾʿbd for ʾʿbs¹
Commentary
The reading is clear on the photograph and on Harding's (unpublished) copy. Milik's suggestion (1960: 179), followed by Jamme (1970: 91, note 157), that this text should be read with SIJ 116 is incorrect.
