TRANSLATION Abū l-Ḥasan: 'Son of Ḏkrh loved Ḏ{h}k'.
Commentary
It is interesting to find an inscription of this sort in Dadanitic. The formula N wdd N is typical of Thamudic B, while the structure of the first name b-N-h is often found in the Safaitic inscriptions. Indeed, the only distinctly Dadanitic feature in this text is the form of the ḏ.
