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. A rectangular red sandstone block (66.5 x 26.5 x 18 cm). There is a square box cut out above the middle of the text. Not previously published. Note that the first b was apparently omitted and added just under the final letter of the first name".
Commentary
A reading of the letter ṯ as s³ should not be excluded.
