- Translation
- By Mʿn son of Mġny son of S²br son of S¹by and he journeyed [to the inner desert the year of Ḥl of the lineage of Ḍf lg]
Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- WH: w ḫyṭ mdbr s¹nt ḥl ḏʾl ḍf lg "and he passed quickly through the desert the year the members of the tribe of Ḍaif camped in Lg"
- Commentary
- WH say in their commentary that "the last sixteen letters [i.e. mdbr s¹nt ḥl ḏʾl ḍf lg] are based on the hand-copy", but the copy reproduced on WH Pl. 22 stops at the letter after {ḫ}{y}ṭ which looks like y not a m. There is therefore no record of these last sixteen letters.
