Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
Corbett (2010: 367) commented: "The author’s patronym is carved along a different orientation than the rest of the text. This text signs a drawing of a male-camel carved to the left of the inscription (c1). This author/artist also carved his name to a second drawing elsewhere on the stone (text #3). To the right of the text is a drawing of a small human figure and a later tribal mark".
