Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Macdonald & Al-Najem (2016) commented: "A block of dressed sandstone (56 x 21 x 21 cm) inscribed on 2 adjacent faces, with two inscriptions on each face. Not previously published. There is a vertical line before the first letter of line 1 but this does not seem to belong to a letter. The last line has been very effectively erased by extensive hammering. The expression s¹ʾl ṣlm f recurs in a Taymanitic inscription at Ṭuwaiyil Saʿīd near Taymāʾ.
