Transliteration: l ḫr bn ʾs¹ bn ḫr bn {ʾ}s¹ bn mġny ḏ- ʾl m{s¹}---- w rʿy h- ḍʾn b- ʿnzt bql
Translation: By Ḫr son of ʾs¹ son of Ḫr son of {ʾs¹} son of Mġny of the lineage of {Ms¹----} and he pastured the sheep at ʿAnāzah on spring herbage

Interpretation

Commentary: The first letter of the fourth name and the lineal name are partially covered by a drawing. A fork of the former is visible and it should probably be read as a ʾ rather than a ṣ or h which are the other possibilities and enough of the second letter of the lineage name remains for it to be read as a s¹. In view of the narrative w rʿy h- ḍʾn b- ʿnzt "and he pastured the sheep at ʿnzt", it is worth noting that the area where this inscription was found is known today as Khallat ʿAnazah. Note also Jabal ʿAnāzah in north eastern Jordan (32.37583333 N 37.07194444 E)
