It would appear that the author had a double name, as occurs often in Dadanitic.

Unfortunately, the beginning of line 3 is damaged. It presumably contained the preposition ʿl- followed by the name of the priestess, i.e. ""on behalf of N, the priestess..."".

It is impossible to be sure, but if the ẓll-ceremony was organized on behalf of the priestess, the enclitic pronoun -h in lines 3 and 4 may refer to her.

At the end of line 3, ʾḫr -h is clear. This is either a mistake by the carver for ʾḫrt -h, or a case of influence from Nabataean where ʾḫr is the normal word for ""posterity"", see DNWSI p. 38.
