LP 315

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: LP 315: ʾḏrr for ʾḏrb but in the commentary ʾḏrb is given as one of several possible alternative readings.
Commentary: The r and the b of the first name are clearly distinguished and the latter is identical to the b of bn. There is therefore is no doubt about the reading ʾḏrb. Immediately after the b there is a failed attempt at writing bn and Littmann copied this rather than the successful second attempt immediately below it.

Provenance: Al-ʿĪsāwī is the name of a probably ancient well between two headlands on the eastern side of the Wādī Shām as it runs northwards from the modern Al-Namārah dam to the Ruḥbah. The well is large, stone lined and with stone water-channels running from it. The main concentration of published inscriptions is on the top of the northern headland, but there also many inscriptions on its south-west slopes, coming down to the well and on the southern headland, on the crest of which is a stone tower.
