Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Müller, D.H. followed by Grimme considers this inscription and JSLih 079, as one text. Caskel considers that the text in broken on the right side, by the contrary, Farès-Drappeau considers the text is broken on the left side. Line 1. Müller, D.H.: hs²ʿʿ for hnfy; Grimme: lnfy for hnfy; Jamme: hnʿy for hnfy. Line 2. Grimme followed by Caskel and Farès-Drappeau: gmr for mrm; Jamme: grg for mrm. Line 3. Müller, D.H.: s²---b rather than s²ʾ; Grimme: n---- rather than s²ʾ; Jamme: s²nʾ for s²ʾ. Line 4. Müller, D.H. does not read the letter l at the end of this line. TRANSLATION Lines 1–3. Caskel: 'It can be recognised only the names Hā-Nafī and Grm, as well as the word ḏāt,this'. Lines 1–4. Jaussen & Savignac: 'Ha-Nafy and Marāmlaw wanted this, to'; Jamme: 'Hanuayq has pierced Galw, the enemy of Ḏūtall'; Grimme: 'to the exclusive property and possession for (?) this (?) ----'.
Commentary
Due to the poor condition of the photograph, the reading here is based on the facsimile in Jaussen & Savignac (1909-1920, ii, pl. CX). We are unable to offer a satisfactory interpretation of this inscription.
