Apparatus Criticus
TEXT van den Branden: ḏbd rather than zbd.
Commentary
Van den Branden (1956: 60) appears to assume that this text and JSTham 506 are two copies of the same text which he identified with Philby 280 at 1 (at the right hand end of the line which starts with the vertical texts on van den Branden 1956: Pl. XI). However, it is now clear from the photographs that JSTham 506 and 525 are separate texts on different parts of the same rock wall. In both cases these texts are associated with the name yfʿ (JSTham 507 and 524) and a sign resembling a Taymanitic ḥ in which the stem protrudes slightly below the “V” and has a dot on each side of it. However, in JSTham 506 (zbd) and 507 (yfʿ), this sign is to the right of zbd (not copied by Jaussen & Savignac (1909–1920, ii, pl. CXLVIII)), and in JSTham 524 (yfʿ) and 525 (zbd) it is to the right of yfʿ (as in Jaussen & Savignac's copy).
