Language and Script: Hismaic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT Read in CTSS p. 125 as Safaitic, rs²ʾt for rfʾt; gmr for ʿ{m}r; ṯrmlh for gmlh; King: rs²ʾt for rfʾt. DISCUSSION King (1990: 624–625) commented: "The letter read as s² is squiggly. Possibly it should be read as f even though it has more curves than the other f's in the text. The name rfʾt if well attested in Saf. Harding (1971: 283)".
Commentary: The text is clearly in the Hismaic script.
