Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 1 (= beginning of line 5 in previous authors JSLih 006). Caskel followed by Al-Qudrah: s¹rh for ḏrh. Line 2 (= line 6 in previous authors JSLih 006). Jaussen & Savignac: wʾdt ʿs¹ʾl for {ʿ}ʾlt f s¹ʾl; Caskel and Al-Qudrah: wʾlt w s¹ʾl rather than {ʿ}ʾlt f s¹ʾl. TRANSLATION Line 2. {ʿ}ʾlt f s¹ʾl, Jaussen & Savignac interpret as personal names. DISCUSSION Macdonald 2004: 504 §4.1.2.3 (4).
Commentary
This graffito was interpreted by previous authors as the beginning of line 5 and the whole line 6 of JSLih 006. Line 2. f s¹ʾl as 'and so he asked' is suggested tentatively.
