Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
King (1990: 267) commented: "Written down to the right of KJA 62. There is a camel to the left of the inscription. Neither of the names is in Harding 1971. See Index a for other occurrences of ʾs²s² bn ʿlṭ. KJB 62 on this rock is possibly by ʾs²s²’s father and KJB 65 possibly by his brother".
