Interpretation

Commentary
Macdonald has suggested that in Taymanitic and Dadanitic inscriptions the noun ʾs¹ before the name of a lineage group has the meaning of "Chief man, leader of" the lineage group (1992: 31). The group name ʿmrtʿ occurs many times in the Minaic and Dadanitic inscriptions from al-ʿUlā, see for example JSMin 11/6, 69, 86, 94, etc. and JSLih 276, 281, 288, U 072, U 090, AHUD 1,Müller, D.H. 1889: 83-84, no. 57.
