- Area B. The name Bn-tml has not been found before but it is of a well-known type and Tml is known.The form of the q if that is what it is is peculiar. The word qrt has not been found in Safaitic before though it is known from Lihyanite (JSLih 64/1 182/2-4 366/1-2). In Ar. qārah means “knoll of a mountain” black hillock ground covered with black stones” [Hava] all of which would perfectly describe the location of this inscription. The person for whom this author built may have been the father of the author of L 207. l s¹nt {b}{n} {f}hd (M & Mu)
