- Translation
- By Qʿṣn son of {S¹ly} son of Qʿṣn son of Ḫlṣ son of Nhb of the lineage of Dʾf and he escaped {by fleeing} the year the pilgrimage to S¹ʿʿ had no effect
Interpretation
- Commentary
- In broadly incised letters, boustrophedon. Note the form of f, which is typical of several texts by members of the ʾl dʾf (see Macdonald, Muazzin and Nehmé 1996: 463 and n. 77). One or more letters have been hammered over between ngy and nfr. The b of bṭl is very straight. The implication of bṭl ḥg s¹ʿʿ is that the pilgrimage to the shrine of Bʿls¹mn at S¹īʿʿ did not produce rain.
