Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TRANSLATION Jaussen & Savignac interpret this graffito as two personal names yny and kʿmyṭyl, but they doubt whether the graffito is complete; Caskel: 'Uncle [it may be long (time)] intercourses'; Jamme: 'ʿAmmay cohabits with Ḥāyil'; Al-Qudrah: 'ʿm intercouses long (time)'.
Commentary
It is difficult to offer a satisfactory interpretation from the copy. The graffito cannot be translated.
