Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- LP 303: ḥbb for ḥrb
- Commentary
- The author makes a clear distinction between b and r in this text. The fourth name must therefore be ḥrb. LP 304 is probably by this man's father.
- Provenance
- Area H. 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.
