Interpretation

Commentary
Drawing only. NB most of the signs in the grid could be read as Safaitic letters but despite the attempts of HIn (ʾṭy p. 54) and JRWH (hġys¹r p. 510) to read them (as WH 3790a) it seems likely that they have magic significance and are intended to be read separately rather than consecutively.
