Interpretation
- Commentary
- A Safaitic inscription on a small piece of limestone. The reading is from two photographs taken by François Villeneuve in December 1992 in the sūq in Damascus. The reading is very uncertain. The letters between ḍ and l are obscured by pitting of the surface. The final letter f (if that is what it is) looks on the photographs like four parallel lines but it is possible that they are linked.
