Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT TIJ 498: ḥrmn rather than kms². Jamme (1968: 104) suggests that this text is Safaitic. DISCUSSION King (1990: 673) commented: "The first l has a definite hook and the second one only a slight one. The final letter is a straight line. Ryckmans, G. 1937: 344, van den Branden 1950: 497 and Jamme 1968: 104, n. 56 are correct in reading the first letter of the second name as k. The letter read as r is, however, a somewhat indistinct dot and is almost certainly incidental".
