Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
LP reads this as the end of LP 259; [ʾ]ṯ{r} for ʾṯ[r];
Commentary
LP reads LP 259.1 as the end of LP 259, but there seems no justification for this since it begins at the opposite side of the face from the end of LP 259. It is possible that both LP 259 and 259.1 begin on the adjacent face.
