Commentary
WR.D 1 to 6 are on a cliff face, Face A, on the left bank of Wādī Rushaydah at its confluence with an unnamed a tributary. This text is high up on the face and is carved in neat incised letters. It is a Greek-Safaitic bilingual with WR.D 2. Note the form of the ēta, without a right upper vertical, as in WR.C 3, 4 and 9.

  • [WR.D] Inscriptions recorded by the Safaitic Epigraphic Survey Programme in 1995 in Wādī Rushaydah, and published here.
