Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Corbett (2010: 361) commented: "This text is carved in two columns and the t of bkrt is carved on an indentation in the rock surface. The text signs a drawing of a she-camel (a1) carved to the right of the inscription. To the right of the camel is an unfinished drawing of a camel, perhaps one the author never completed and/or decided to abandon. ʿmm son of s¹ʿd also signed the she-camel drawing on R705".
