Interpretation
- Commentary
- The inscription is beautifully carved in relief within a broad border, and a broad band between the two lines. It is interesting that, unlike most Dadanitic and other Ancient North Arabian graffiti, the word order here is Verb—Object—Subject. The letters d and n are carved in the opposite direction to that of the text.
