Transliteration: l ʿrfn bn mġyr bn ms¹k bn ʿmd bn mlk w ḥrṣ bʾs¹ nbṭ f h s²ʿhqm s¹lm m- bʾs¹ w ʿhn b- mgdt w ʿwr ḏ yʿwr [h-] {s¹}fr
Translation: By ʿrfn son of Mġyr son of Ms¹k son of ʿmd son of Mlk and he was keeping watch [because of] the misfortune of the Nabataeans and so O S²ʿhqm may he be secure from affliction and dwell in abundance and blind whoever scratches out {the writing}

Interpretation

Commentary: There are thick horizontal scratches across the middle of this text and AAWAB 23 next to it, and these have obscured a few letters in this text.

Provenance: Although photographs of this stone were previously labelled "Al-Mafraq Museum 69" this is incorrect. The stone is not in the museum but is still in Al-Wādī al-Abyaḍ and was rediscovered there by Ali Al-Manaser on 18/06/2021.
