Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- SIJ 752: "and he was on the look-out for the comrades" for "he guarded the mountain-top"
- Commentary
- Ḥrf could be the equivalent of Ar. ḥarf “sharp summit ledge [of a mountain]” (see Lane 550a) which would be appropriate for Tell al-ʿAbd where this inscription was found. Nẓr would then mean “he kept watch guarded” (cf. Syr. nṭr)
