Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- Macdonald & Al-Najem (2016) commented: "The name Ṣms³mk has not been found before and is a good example of s³ in Taymanitic. The name would mean 'Ṣlm supports' (cf. Hebrew sāmak). The meaning of the word glz uncertain and Macdonald has tentatively interpreted it on the basis of Arabic ǧilwāz 'tax-collector'. It is also possible that hglz is a personal name, but if so is unknown".
