Interpretation
- Commentary
- From a photograph of a stone bearing two Safaitic inscriptions shown to Laïla Nehmé by Professor André Lemaire (URA 1062 du CNRS) who asked if it had been published and would give no details of its provenance etc. She was only permitted to make a tracing and a photocopy from the photograph [both kept in Misc drawer under “Lemaire”]. The stone is chipped at the beginning of the text.
