Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
C 302: yrs¹l
Commentary
C reads yrs¹l but there is no sign of the final l on the Dunands' copy. The s¹ has the form of an "A"

Provenance
This is a large area including most of the Ruḥbah and the eastern edge of the Ṣafā. Unfortunately C does not supply any further information on the provenance of this inscription and, to the best of our knowledge, the area has not been revisited. However note that C 296–298 were rediscovered on the summit of Jabal Says.
