Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
JaS: s¹ʿd for {s¹}ʿd and ngd for n{g}d. w bny w ngd is translated as "and he has made [this] and he has become distressed by sorrow".
Commentary
The s¹ in the name after w wgm ʿl is facing outwards rather than in the direction of the text. It is possible that part of the second letter of n{g}d is covered by the chip in the rock.
