Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
AKSJ: [ḏ]bḥ l- ʿzz bn ---- "he sacrificed [an offering] from ʿzz son of ----".
Commentary
Carved into the crust on a piece of tabular flint, broken along all its edges. The restoration of [ḏ] before b ḥ, is possible and produces good sense. It is interesting that the deity here is ʿzz, Azizos, who was worshipped at Palmyra, and occurs here for the first time in a Safaitic inscription.
