Language and Script
Safaitic 2

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus

AAEK 9 reads gmḥy for gmḥ, and ʿnqt for ʿnq.

Commentary

The author appears to have carved a ʾ after the second name, mḫr, but then carved the b of the second bn over it. This was presumably a correction since while the name mḫr is known, mḫrʾ is unattested.
