Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- TEXT Line 1. Abū l-Ḥasan: hʾhn rather than hs¹hn. Line 2. Abū l-Ḥasan: w ʾr---- rather than w ʾr---- w. Line 3. Abū l-Ḥasan: h- qrt rather than l- qrt. TRANSLATION Line 3. qrt, Abū l-Ḥasan: 'boulder'.
- Commentary
- Line 1: It is curious that the personal pronoun is in the dual when only one person is mentioned before it. Line 3. The personal name Qrt is attested also in the Dadanitic inscription JSLih 182/4 (see Jaussen & Savignac 1909-1920, ii: 481, for commentaries) and in Safaitic (Harding 1971: 479).
