Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Macdonald & Al-Najem (2016) commented: "The stone was in the Department of Antiquities collection at Taymāʾ in 1985 when it was photographed by William Facey. Cut into the thin side of a long ashlar (100 x 35 x 15 cm). There is a space between the last letter and the wasm. On the (wide) side adjacent to the top of the inscription is a circle and a sign like an inverted "L". Not previously published. The last letter of the first name could be mistaken for a n on the photograph but is clearly a l on the stone".
