Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 681: {ḥ}{n}ʾl for wʾl; {n}s²ʿʾl for ns²gʾl. JSafN p. 86 note 143: ns²gʾl.
Commentary
The first letter of the fourth name must be a w. There are two holes in the rock but nothing else between this letter and the ʾ. There is one unreadable letter after the l of this name. The n of the fifth name is clear on the photograph and comparison of its third letter with the ʿ of ʿbd shows that the former must be g. The n of [n]ẓmʾl was probably omitted by haplography.
