- ISB: w ʾrḥ f ḥwlt {w} s²rʿ bn mkbr w rʿy mḥrb "and he gave [the animals] rest in Ḥwlṭ and he traced a path among large [stones] and he pastured at Mḥrb"
- Commentary
- For ʾrḥ and ḥwrt see Al-Jallad & Jaworska. It is difficult to interpret the rest of the inscription but note that although l and r have similar forms, l is a simple vertical line and does not have a hook even at one end whereas r has small hooks at both ends.
