Translation

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIT: h ʾṣh "the staff". JMAA VIII p. 7: ġṯ for ġr; the end bn gnhʿ ṣh "son of Gnhʿ. Silence!".
Commentary
JMAA VIII probably reads the third letter as a ṯ because the arms of the letter are slightly thickened lines but since the horizontal line is a curve and there is no evidence of circles at the end SIT's reading is most likely justified.
