OCIANA
Translation
By ʿtn son of Yʿrr
OCIANA
Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: yʿyl for yʿrr
Commentary
Unlike the lām auctoris, the two final letters each have a hook, the first at the bottom and the second at the top. We would therefore suggest that they are both rs. Neither resemble the y at the beginning of the name as in WH's copy.
