Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
JaS: ḥmlg for ḥmr and bġdw for bnġdw
Commentary
The first name is written in square letters. The final letter of the first name clearly has hooks and must be a r. Jamme reads the following bn as a g despite the fact that it is open to the left. There is no sign of the letter he reads as b before ġdw. The ḍ is of the concentric circle form more common in Thamudic E than in Safaitic. The b of the penultimate bn is at 90° to the rest of the text. The final name is all but invisible on the photograph.
