- l (q)s¹y bn wd bn ys²kr bn ʿwd bn (y)s²kr w ḥḍr s¹nt ws¹----
- Translation
- By {Qs¹y} son of Wd son of Ys²kr son of ʿwd son of {Ys²kr} and he was present [here] in the year of want
Interpretation
- Commentary
- Although first letter of the fifth name is clearly ḏ on the copy the emendation seems justified not only because of the occurrence of ys²kr already in the genealogy but because names with pre-fromative ḏ- are virtually unknown in Safaitic (the only example seems to be ḏ-myʿt in WH 154).
