- TEXT Abū l-Ḥasan: tq ḏ[ġbt] rather than tqḏ. TRANSLATION Abū l-Ḥasan: 'Hnm [son of] Tqy of the lineage of (Ḏġbt)'.
- Commentary
- An isolated letter, probably a s¹, is incised below the letter h. It is possible that the final ḏ is the apotropaic sign often found at the beginning or end of Dadanitic inscriptions rather than part of the second word. It is also possible that the second word was intended to be tqṭ "he signed" as in many Dadanitic graffiti which consist simply of a name + tqṭ, but that the author accidentally omitted the ṭ.
