ThNSSMAS 13: as ThNS ThNS 4: l ʿrm bn ḥ{ṣ}y
Commentary
The second latter is rather large and it is possible that it should be read g. The last two letters of the second name are very doubtful. There might be a ṣ with no spine and a dot for the loop after the ḥ and it is possible that there is a y following it although its shape would be more accurately represented in ThNS than in ThNSSMAS. The reading of the second name as it appears on the copy is difficult. The name Ḥṣy seems to be attested only once in Thamudic C (Winnett and Reed 1973: 203 c).
