Commentary
See the commentary to WGRR 1. It is possible that the lineage name is really lʿṯmn and the initial [l] was assimilated to that of the preceding ʾl.

Provenance
Site 50.2 is the right bank of wādī al-Gharz between the causeway of the Zalaf-Umbāshī track and the point at which Wādī al-Gharz enters the Ruḥbah (1.2 km long). The inscriptions are in a series of outcrops and cairns and simply on the rocks of the Wādī bank. Virtually the only published texts are in the last outcrop and cairn overlooking the debouchement of the Wādī into the Ruḥbah.
