Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
C reads this text as the continuation of C 3674.1, which is Safaitic. He takes ḥṭṭ as a personal name.
Commentary
This interpretation is offered very tentatively. For the word ḥṭṭ compare Classical Arabic ḥaṭṭ the maṣdar of ḥaṭṭa "to put down a burden" (Lane 592a) Thamudic B prayers beginning h Divine name b- -k .... are known (see Winnett 1973: 98), though those beginning b- Divine name are more common.
