Interpretation
- Commentary
- {ġ}yrʾl: The first letter of the name seems to have the straight line and flick on one end of a ġ, but there is a short diagonal line coming from the middle of the line. One would suggest that this line is accidental. An alternative reading of ṣyrʾl or ḍrʾl would be unattested. ḏ{ṣ}{r}: This name is difficult to make sense of. The first letter is clearly a ḏ on the stone. The second letter seems to be either a ṣ or a ṯ. Given that one would not usually expect the combination of ḏ and ṯ, a reading of ṣ has been given. The following letter seems to be a r that is touching a b of BES20 106. This would give the name ḏṣr which is unattested in Safaitic.
