AH 313

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: DISCUSSION Abū l-Ḥasan (2002: 262) suggests that Mtʿʾl was probably an important person, even he might have been the king of Ddn at that time, or the father of the king Krbʾl (son of Mtʿʾl), who inherited his father's crown according to the inscription JSLih 138. Al-Theeb (2013: 23) considers that Mtʿʾl was without doubt a king of Dadan, the father of Krbʾl.
Commentary: The inscription is beautifully carved in relief within a broad border. The same genealogy occurs in AH 317 and AH 320. Line 2. The letter n in the word Ddn is carved in the opposite direction to that of the text. This is the only occurrence in which two names appear after the verb nṭr.

Associated Signs: Cartouche
Associated Inscriptions: It is to the right of AH 331, to the left of AH 325 and above AH 329 and AH 316
