Interpretation

Commentary
A curious text carved above a line of drawings. The use of the b for bn ensures that it is Taymanitic. However, the letter shaped like a Safaitic ṯ is a surprise and the possibility that the final letter of the second name has the form of an ASA ʾ (as also the penultimate letter of the text) is also unexpected, though they may have been intended to be a s¹. The name S²nʾ and ʾls¹ are well attested in Safaitic. There is a sign like a large s¹ at the end of the text.
