Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Abū l-Ḥasan: ʿbdhrm rather than ʿbdḫrg. TRANSLATION h- frs¹, Abū l-Ḥasan: 'the brave'.
Commentary
Since most, if not all, the drawings near this inscription are of camels rather thanhorses, it seems likely that h-frs¹ describes the author's profession ("cavalryman") rather than being a claim to a drawing.
