- TEXT Harding & Littmann do not read the beginning of this text. TRANSLATION Harding and Littmann read as genealogy: "By S¹aqīm -- S¹urūr son of Ghanamat'. DISCUSSION King (1990: 664) commented: "There is a drawing of two camels one of which is inscribed between the m and the second s¹ of the text, it might obscure a w in which case 'sickness [and] happiness' should be restored, see, however, KJA 24 for an occurrence of the phrase 'sickness of happiness' and Ch.4.E.1 for this type of love inscription".
