Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Jaussen & Savignac: k mrʾḥl ʿgt rather than bmrt ḥl ʿft; van den Branden: bmrh ḥlwft for bmrt ḥl ʿft; Eskoubi: mbrt ḥll rather than bmrt ḥl ʿft.
Commentary
The personal name, bmrt, has not been found in Taymanitic before but it is attested once in Hismaic (JSTham 757) and is of an onomastic form common at Taymāʾ. ʿft is presumably a place name.

Associated Signs
A sign like a Hismaic ḏ is below the b of b- ft.
