Interpretation
- Commentary
- The text is written round three sides of a drawing of a camel.The second name is very odd if the reading is correct. The root RQD in Classical Arabic means ʿto sleepʾ or ʿto be raggedʾ neither very suitable for a theophoric name. The first two letters are certain (cf. the minimal circle on the q in ZF 13) but the loop of the d is more lightly incised than the rest of the letter. The l has become joined to the rear foot of the camel. The d-l could represent s¹ or even ḍ but the roots RQS and RQḌ do not seem to exist.
