Interpretation

- Area A. There is a more lightly scratched line touching the r of ʾmr but it does not seem to be part of the text. See K 293 for the same genealogy + 1. The absence of definite article before s²nʾ suggests that booty is requested from any enemy. Qrb has been taken as an active participle (cf. Arabic qārib) but it could equally be and adjective (cf. Arabic qar¡b) meaning "in the vicinity". Or qar¡ban ʿvery nearʾ (M & Mu)
