Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 1. Eskoubi: zn rḍm s¹ʿd wd rather than h {ṯ} ---- {ṭ} s¹ʿd w---- .
Commentary
Eskoubi reads this as two texts, which is possible. The second letter of the first line, looks like a Dadanitic ṯ. It is unclear whether the next letter is a f or a back-to-front n-r. The next letter is a circle enclosing a cross. It could be read also as w. Only the second part can be interpreted clearly. The name yʿrs²l recurs in Esk. 72.
