Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 1. Abū l-Ḥasan: ys¹l rather than ys¹d. Line 2. Abū l-Ḥasan bn ḥ for bnw.
Commentary
Line 1. The d has a Minaic rather than a Dadanitic form, and is either facing in the opposite direction to the text, or the text reads from left-to-right as ds¹y. The two lines may not belong together since they are separated by a large space. Moreover, below line 2 traces of a third line can be seen, and it is possible that we are dealing here with two distinct graffiti.
