Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Commentary
The second name could also be nbʾ which is not previously attested. The k of mk appears to be facing backwards. The name rḍylh has not been found before, but compare Minaic rḍwʾl. A stray scratch appears to cross the fork of the h. Bʾs¹n is attested here for the first time as a personal name in Safaitic.
