JSTham 547.1

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: TEXT van den Branden: b ʾḏn b ḏbn rather than bʾzn b zbd. TRANSLATION Jaussen & Savignac: 'By ʾAzen, by Zabad'.
Commentary: Despite the fact that there is a word divider between the end of JSTham 547.1 and 547.2, it seems to make more sense to follow Eskoubi and read them as separate texts (Esk. 084 and 085 respectively).

Associated Signs: At the beginning a large, angular, two-pronged fork with an upward-curving line at the base. At the end a much smaller similar sign, but with out the upward-curving line at the base. Below zbd a sign with lighter patina of (L-R) a dot a Taymanitic b and a short vertical line.
