- King (1990: 420) commented: "The text is written down the rock and then turns in a loop up. For the form of the prayer, see Ch.4.C.3. The expression of s¹ʿd ngy is a construct. For other occurrences of the substantive s¹ʿd, see KJC 405 and 442b; ngy, cf. Ar. najāʾ ‘deliverance’; ṯry, cf. Ar. ṯarāʾ ‘sufficiency’, the word occurs again in KJC 729".
