Text Information

Siglum
U 105
Transliteration
whbh/zdlh/zrw----
Translation
{Whblh}/Zdlh/Zrw----

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Sima does not read the letters after zdlh.
Commentary
The fourth letter of is clearly a h (compare l h in the second name). However, *Whbhh does not seem a very likely name and so we have emended it to whb<l>h.

Provenance
Al-ʿUḏayb (Jabal ʿIkmah). The inscription is chiselled on a rock inside the gorge
