Interpretation

Commentary
This is a very interesting inscription but which is unfortunately difficult to interpret. The partial translation given here is suggested very tentatively/ The particle ʾḏ signalling the time in the past when something happened (compare Arabic iḏ, Lane 38c) is very rare in Safaitic, but it is also found in AWS 8 and QZMJ 638
