- l qdm bn ghm w wgd ʾṯr ʾs²yʿ -h bḏ {m}{l}{f} f t{ṯ}ql
- Translation
- By Qdm son of Ghm and he found the inscription of his companions bḏ {m}{l}{f} and so t{ṯ}ql
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The third m is slightly damaged and the following l has a small kink at one end which, if intentional, means the letter could be a ġ. One loop of the third letter from the end is only enclosed by a very faint line and it is possible it should be read as a ṣ.
