By Gmm son of ʾnʿm son of ʾḏnt son of ʾnʿm son of Qdm and he returned to permanent water from the inner desert the year Bʿls¹mn withheld it [i.e. rain] from the Province [or region]. And he watered in the place where one spends the dry season in the first part of winter. So O Lt [grant] security and [inflict] blindness and lameness on whoever may scratch out the carving.

- RQ.A 2 and 3 are on the same face. Mqẓt is presumably the place where one spends the season of qyẓ, i.e. high summer. Bdr =14, 15, 16 of month when the moon is full. Perhaps, Bʿls¹mn gave him authority over the city. NB madīnah in Egyptian Aramaic can mean
