Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Corbett (2010: 355) commented: "The text is carved to the right of a crudely drawn ibex (a1). The position of the text and reference to the wʿl would suggest lbʾt was the artist. lbʾt also signed a nearby she-camel drawing (R684.02). The PN2 and wʿl are carved in two parallel columns, probably because the author ran out of space below".
