Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Jaussen & Savignac: l wṣn brl lḥn rather than [sign] l ḍṣ b rll [sign]; van den Branden: ḥll rbl ṣl[m] wlz rather than [sign] l ḍṣ b rll [sign]; Eskoubi: znwṣ n brl lḥn for [sign] l ḍṣ b rll [sign].
Commentary
Both names are bizarre, but most of the letters are clear, though the r (if that is what it is) is back-to-front, which is very unusual in Taymanitic.

Associated Signs
(1). At the; beginning, a sign like a Safaitic z. (2). At the end, a vertical with a pair of upward diagonals near the top and one upward diagonal from the left of the base (see Jaussen and Savignac's copy).
