TEXT Jaussen & Savignac: ltlmnt ntn rather than b ṣlmn ntnt; van den Branden: wasm ṣlm ntn t(n) for b ṣlmn ntnt. TRANSLATION Kootstra: 'on behalf/by means of ṣlm, I have made an offering'.
Commentary
The inscription is carved above a horned head, the symbol of the Taymanite deity Ṣlm. The reading is based on Huber's copy which seems more accurate and complete.
