Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
DISCUSSION Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2014: 15–16, for the place name Bdr. Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2016: 128, for the divine name Ḏġbt.
Commentary
Line 1-2. The theophoric personal name ʿbdḏktb may be a mason's mistake for the personal name ʿbdḏġbt. This latter is already attested in Dadanitic (Hidalgo-Chacón Díez 2010: 201). This inscription is very close to AH 010, but was not recorded by Abū l-Ḥasan (1997).
