Interpretation
- Apparatus Criticus
- ThNSSMAS: l ʿḍm bn rṯh; p. 111: l ʿn h- {g}{m}{l} written near the inscription. ThNSM.III 3.1: l ʿḍm bn rṯh; comm. p. 267 n. 33: maybe read as Thamudic "l s¹ʿṯm bn bgt"; p. 267 n. 34: l ʿn h- {g}{m}{l} written near the inscription.
- Commentary
- It seems most likely that this inscription should be read as Hismaic accordingly the grid sign is read as a ṯ and the line with loops at either end is read as a g. The second bn is doubtful as the b is very small and the n carelessly inscribed. The s¹ and q are much larger than the other letters of the text and there is rather a large space in between them. Both the editions mention further letters near the inscription but these are difficult to read from the photograph see ThSaf 51.1
