Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- LP 369: ʿm for nʿm
- Commentary
- The inscription runs from one face onto another face and then curls round and runs back onto the first face. The letters after h-dr have been very effectively hammered over. The second name is clearly nʿm not ʿm as Littmann copied 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.
