Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 1. Müller, D.H.: ʾltḥmd for ʾmtḥmd. TRANSLATION Line 2. h- mtʿt: Müller, D.H. followed by Jaussen & Savignac and Al-Qudrah: 'the donor woman'; Grimme: '(she) is saved'; Caskel: '(she) has obtained her salvation'; Jamme: 'the tradewoman'; Farès-Drappeau: '(she) has done'.
Commentary
Line 1. The first letter is incised and outside of the frame as do other letters. It might be thought that who committed the inscription forgot to carve the first letter and was forced to incise it out the frame. Line 2. For the substantive mtʿ cf. Sabaic and Qatabanic mtʿ 'save', 'deliver' (Beeston et al. 1982: 88; Ricks 1989: 100).
