Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus

CGSP 6: l ʾgm b{h}{d}z "Di ʾgm figlio di {Hdz}"

OCIANA 1: M.C.A. Macdonald: l ʾnʿm bn k{ʿ}z; it is possible that the penultimate letter should be read as a r if the left-hand side is only part of the incidental scratch.

Commentary

The penultimate letter is clearly an r, with one hook, which is characteristic of variant 3 Safaitic.
