Interpretation

Commentary: C 4043–4046 (= QWs 3, 5+6, 11) and QWs 4, 7–10 are on a long low boulder with a dark red, shiny surface. This text was not recorded by Dussaud and Macler and so not published in C, It was recorded by the Safaitic Epigraphic Survey Programme in 1995. This text begins immediately to the right of 4. It is lightly incised and the letters are patinated to the same colour as the surrounding rock. In places it is difficult to make out. The corner of the rock-face has been chipped off. The same author gives the same genealogy in SESP.S 1, where he includes the kn after s²ʿr which he omitted here, compare the same section of the Ḍf genealogy in KRS 258, 883, 1732, Is.Mu 121, etc.
