- l mʿn bn mlkt bn ʾs¹ w l- -h nqt
- Translation
- By Mʿn son of Mlkt son of ʾs¹ and to him belongs a she-camel
Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- SIT: w h nqt for w lh nqt which is translated as "and the she-camel". JMAA VIII p.8: bn ʾs¹w h nqt for bn ʾs¹ lh nqt which is translated as "son of ʾs¹w [belongs] the she-camel".
- Commentary
- From the photograph there is definitely a l between the w and the h. There is some confusion over the provenance of the text and that given here is the one recorded in the Department of Antiquities catalogue of photographs which seems the most likely. In SIT p. 5 the provenance of the text is given as Near Km. 938 but the inscription is on the same rock as SIT 54 which is said to come from between Km. 938 and 925.
