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 Willima Facey. A long block of yellowish sandstone (101 x 52 x 19 cm) the surface of which is flaking badly making the inscription very hard to read with confidence. Not previously published. Although the first name is bizarre and seemingly impossible, it does not seem possible to read it any other way".
Commentary
The text is written boustrophedon starting from right-to-left.
