Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- TEXT Line 1. Graf followed by Al-Qudrah: wknʾl for hnʾ. Line 2. Graf: ḍl wasm rather than ḍlḍ. TRANSLATION Line 2. byt blwh, Graf followed by Al-Qudrah: '(he) built his tomb'.
- Commentary
- Line 2. The word byt is clearly the verb "to spend the night", rather than the noun "house", since in Dadanitic orthography the medial diphthong (*-ay) is not represented.
