- Commentary
-
The stone appears to be damaged at the bottom left hand corner making the reading of the fifth name uncertain. The inscription was recorded as part of the Jebel Qurma Archaeological Landscape Project and was published in Akkermans & Brüning 2020: 208, Fig. 25. There is a ḏ in variant 3 Safaitic to the right of the inscription, but it appears to be extranious and perhaps added at a later point.
