Translation
By {Gzz} son of ʿm son of Dd and he is on the look-out so, O {Yṯʿ}, [grant] calmness.

Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Commentary

The fifth letter is unconvincing as a t and is more likely a z in which case the “n” may be a stray scratch. WH show the ʿ of yṯʿ as restored but it appears as a w on the copy.
