Commentary
See the commentary in Macdonald, Al Muʾazzin, & Nehmé 1996: 473-476. The stone was rediscovered and photographed by the Safaitic Epigraphic Survey Programme in 1995 and the reading here is made from those photographs. It should be noted that Littmann was working from a hand copy made by one of the servants of the Princeton Expedition (LP p. iii), and had not seen the original. The letters rs¹ʾs¹h which can just be made out on the colour photograph are clear on the copy are difficult to interpret.
