Interpretation

Commentary
BRenv.B 2, 3 and 4 are on the same rock, some 50 m west of site 14. In small incised letters. Ḥrbn is in the dual. The author seems to have omitted the r of ṯʾr and then squeezed it in between the ʾ and the following m.

Provenance
On the left bank of Wādī Shām, north-west of the water-tower at Biʾr al-Ruṣayʿī. A small outcrop approximately 150 m north of the Wādī. This is site E1 in Macdonald, Al Muʾazzin & Nehmé 1996.
