- l ḥmrn bn wdʾl bn ngs² bn nḫr bn ġrb bn s¹lm w wgd ʾṯr ʾs²ʿ[y] [-h] w wgʿ
- Translation
- By Ḥmrn son of Wdʾl son of {Ngs²} son of Nḫr son of Ġrb son of S¹lm and found the traces of {his} {companions} and he was sorrowful
Interpretation
- Commentary
- The author appears to have made a mistake by writing the ʿ before the y in the penultimate word as, presumably, he intended to write ʾs²yʿ. There is a rock obscuring parts of the word and only some lines of the loop of the y are visible and only one line of the h.
