Interpretation

Commentary
The second l is a rather short line. The sequence wgm bn ʾs¹ʾl bn nẓr bn wʿl bn fhzt reccurs in KRS 1569 and it seems likely that the fourth names in these texts should be read as the same although the readings in both cases are clear and it would assume a metathesis of the middle letters in one of the texts. None of the roots from the possible combinations are attested although s²hzn is attested as a man's name in Qatabanian (see DASI).
