Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- WT! 14: Considered the text "Tabuki Thamdic" (= Hismaic). King (1990: 679) considered the script Mixed Safaitic-Hismaic on basis of Safaitic form of the ḏ.
- Commentary
- From the forms of the letters the inscription could be Safaitic. This is so far the only instance in either Safaitic or Hismaic of the expression ḏkr ʾlh, and *ḏkr lh is unattested.
